I totally just joined in with this so have NO clue what I'm doing, lol. But... the more the merrier.

Phase 4 starts... like now so come join the fun.

And the update:
Still sick. Probably just allergies, though I feel like crap. Can't breathe but my nose keeps running. The pressure in my sinuses makes my head hurt. But at least I don't feel as run down as I did yesterday. I actually got up early (before my alarm at 7:30), got the kids off to school, cleaned up the laundry room and kids' bathroom and started a load of laundry, vacuumed the girls' room, the hall, around the front door and the kids' living room. Also unloaded the dishwasher, filled it up, wiped down the counters and emptied the trash. Pretty productive considering I'm sick.

On the writing front:
Still working on story #5. It's moving along but with being sick I'm not getting as much done. When I try and write my nose starts running so bad I can't see straight and have to lift my head up. If I lean back in bed and put the paper where it's at an angle that I'm not leaning down my pen won't write. Grr. I did get a few pages in last night, though. I'm going to try (try being the operative word) to get story #1 typed up today. I mean, I only have until the 30th to get these written, typed up, edited and posted. That's a lot to do. Plus I joined the

stargateland thing so stuff to do there. And

one_prompt although that's not due until the end of May so I have time.

Icon stuff:
Not doing any 20in20s this month. Had fun last month but have too much writing to do this month. Was all set to concentrate on the writing when I remembered I signed up to do the

scifi100. When I remembered the other day I only had like 15-20 icons done. I was a busy little bee and now I'm up to 51. My set is due in mid-May. I've got most of the themes done but only 15 of the 50 ACs. That should be easy to just choose my favorite scenes. Just have to find the caps at Gateworld and I'm off to the races.

Reading:
Still working through neuropsych's Camper's series. Not usually the kind of story I read but some of them are fun. I really liked Scion. It was interesting to see a future version of Shawn and how Jack related to him. Haven't really been reading much the last week or so with all the writing I've been doing. I was writing from around 9pm-11pm and then reading until around 1am. But lately I just write until I can't see straight and go right to bed.

Also:
Still looking for title ideas for my alternate reality series for

writers30days. See post HERE. And if anyone wants to beta them with nothing better to do than read a really bizarre alternate reality. Maybe let me bounce ideas...
