There’s nothing like a series of health scares to open your eyes. That’s what happened to me in July and into August. My experience was horrible, painful, and distressing. I’m not 100% yet, but I’m doing better. My journey into Hell started with what appears to have been caused by stress and a stomach virus that led to blood sugar fluctuations and a tweaked neck. Fun times. I simply wasn’t listening to my body trying to tell me to chill out and not do activities that strain my neck. Lesson learned.
I’ve been addressing my stress by starting Tai Chi, and it’s helping. I should have been doing this a long time ago. Yoga breathing exercises are also helping me stay calm.
All of this has put my writing and my whole life on hold. I
had finished the first draft of my vampire thriller right before this happened.
Streams of thoughts and ideas about changes have come to me in spurts, and I
have been making notes to review later when I can spend more time on the
computer. This has turned out to be a good break from my story. I can return to
it with fresh eyes and ideas on how to expand areas.
I also started reading books again, something I used to do all
the time until I guess I lost focus. Reading other stories helps with my writing
process, and it is a nice escape from life stresses.
Even though my experience was one of the worst for me, it
also helped me open my eyes and start living better.
Enter a world of enchantment and passion.

I'm sorry you felt so poorly, Kelley. That old saying 'you're nothing without your health' is so true.
Glad you're on the mend. :)
