Oh, the neverending joy
Yes, I'm being sarcastic. ; ) My second choice of a title for today's blog was "All hail Puffs Plus with Aloe and Vicks!" Yep, I'm sick with a cold for the second time in three weeks (confirmed by my doctor yesterday). We just keep passing this cold around the office here like some kind of sick and twisted Christmas present. And this morning I had to go to the dentist to have three fillings done. The entire left side of my face was numb, so the entertaining part of the dental proceedure came when it was all over and I was trying to put on lipstick. Yep, I ended up with lipstick on my chin. I'm actually looking in a mirror while doing it and I still miss my lips. LOL. I was supposed to have today off, but we're swamped with work (which is a very good thing), so I had to come in (not so great). But I've got my can of chicken noodle soup and a big, honkin' bottle of Advil, so it's all good. ; )
Okay, I'm finished venting. Thank you for listening. ; ) I did get some work done on Chapter 13 last night, and hope to finish it tonight. Those of you who've read the Armed & Magical sample chapters have met Archmagus Justinius Valerian. Chapter 13 of The Trouble With Demons is Justinius's first scene. I just want to say that I love that old man! Shrewd, crafty, manipulative, ill-tempered, nasty old man -- I just love him. ; )
As I said yesterday, in the next week or so, I'll blog on how to go about researching and finding an agent (I've had a lot of requests for that), as well as how to deal professionally with agents and editors. If you have any topics/questions that you'd like to see as a blog topic, just let me know. Either respond to the blog that day, or email me at lisa@lisashearin.com.
BIG NEWS (that I can't tell you yet) -- I know it drives you crazy to hear that, it's even worse for me to have news that I can't share quite yet (the contracts aren't signed). But as soon as the ink's dry, I'll be posting it here -- probably in big, red type. *huge grin*
And don't forget this Saturday, you'll get my Christmas gift to all of you. Just come to the blog that day, and I'll tell you where to go to find your present. And no, it's not a cold. ; )
I'm off to heat up some chicken soup.

What a rotten Christmas present! Poor Lisa! Hope you feel better in time for Christmas, and I can't wait 'til Saturday. :)
Actually, I am feeling better this evening. And I've managed to stay ahead of the tooth pain with the Advil. I'm pain-free, my nose is behaving itself, and I'm writing. It's a good night. : )
It amazes me how, even when you're not feeling well, your humor comes through. I had a couple good LOLs reading your post.
Hope you get better soon.
I'm glad that you're feeling better Mrs. Shearin and that you're getting to write about a character you particularly like, that's always fun!
Thank you Laurie and Michelle!
Ok, you're doing a great job building up all the suspense over this gift!
I've been sick as well, as has my husband and daughter. With any luck, however, we'll all be well again for Christmas.
