Infected

Quote of the day:
“I kind of lost the plot a little bit there really. I wasn’t very happy at all. I don’t think alcohol can make you happy.” – Kate Moss.

Despite several rounds of antibiotics and complementary antihistamines, steroids and drops, my ear infection returned. Tenacity like that is impressive, yes? My only wish is that the bacteria picked on someone with a more robust immune system.

All these drugs flooding my bloodstream, I feel like losing the plot a bit myself. Rereading that above sentence reminds me that Kate Moss and I have something in common. Now that really scares me.

The only good news on the writing front this past week – given the woeful page count – a proper replacement title for Velocity. A temporary one served as a placeholder for the past few months, since Dean Koontz released a book by that name. Be the similarity coincidence or fate, it annoyed me; I dug that title. Now since the working title no longer matters, it shall be forgotten, burned and buried in a box. And maybe wrapped in tinfoil and shipped to Abu Dhabi.

As much as I liked Velocity, the latest title is more appropriate. And nope, not a whisper of until its on a query letter. ‘Tis the season for secrets.

    Dude, that sucks. Luckily, I have not had an ear infection in decades, but I do remember that they hurt. Feel better soon.
