A Funny Thing Happened While I Had The Flu
Being in writing mode is the most euphoric feeling in the world. Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration - but, for a writer, it ranks up pretty high. When you're writing down the bones, rattling off dialog, and plowing through the chapters, you hit this point like a runner's high - I'll call it a writer's high. However, invariably something comes along that knocks you off the rails, blows the engine, and sends you rolling and tumbling like a cartoon coyote. At about the 30,000 word mark in Nine Fingers, I had a run in with the flu that left me on my back for a week. I didn't write a word, heck I didn't even keep up with my email. Which is why I didn't know until late last night that my story, Night Train, had been chosen for an Editor's Choice Award by A. Henry Keene in the excellent anthology "Terror Train". Terror Train is available from Amazon.com in both Kindle and Paperback versions. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KYW...
