Still sick. Not nearly as sick as last night. I managed to get through an entire mug of white-cranberry peach juice and a big glass of water, with no ill effects so far. (Being hypoglycemic is a really bad thing to combine with a stomach bug.)

But! There is good news! On Spec has decided they want to buy "Carter Hall Sweeps a Path." They published "Carter Hall Recovers the Puck" in their Spring 2006 issue, so I'm very glad to see they like what I'm doing with Carter and Tam and Janet still. (Especially as I'm in the middle of writing another short story. And eventually there will be the book, but we are Never Minding that now.)

For those of you who don't remember me blathering about this one when I was writing it, it's got curling and Baba Yaga in addition to the usual hockey/Tam Lin combo.

Lovely sensible Canadians. Oh, I am pleased.

Congrats! I loved "Carter Hall Recovers the Puck," so I'm pumped that On Spec bought your next story.

Congrats! I'm very pleased.

Not about the stomach bug, though.

As a fellow hypoglycemic, I feel your pain (and shakes and sweating and pounding headaches and perhaps a teeny bit of psychosis?).

Mostly my hypoglycemic psychosis is of the "I am a terrible person and no one should like me and WAAAAAAAAH" kind rather than the "I will kill you with my FEEEENGERS!" kind.

The headache, however, is present and accounted for. And the dizziness. Must not forget the dizziness. If not for the shakes propelling me bedward, the dizziness would have left me to sleep on the bathroom floor last night. Wheeee.

Ah. My particular brand of psychosis involves the stabby-stabby feelings. Luckily for my would-be victims, I am too weak to grasp a knife during these times.

My tongue can be a razorblade, though, if the stories are true. I am not being melodramatic when I say my memories of times without food are vague and hazy and dreamlike.

Sorry about the dizzy. I have a feeling yours is worse than mine for obvious reasons.

I know about the hazy dreamlike stuff, though. That's very familiar.

Curling, Baba Yaga, Tam Lin, and hockey. Right, I'll be looking it up!

You want the previous story? I tried to make them stand alone, but.

I tried sending to the address on your user info, and it didn't go through. Please mail me at marissalingen at gmail so I know where to send this.

Never mind; my fingers went on auto-pilot and added the wrong suffix to the end.
