Also hot showers. Vaporizor or humidifier. Hot liquids external and internal, plus cold liquids to keep well hydrated. Avoid dairy, not because it increase mucus but because it thickens it and makes it tougher to get rid of. Lots of sleep. OJ.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Coding and Sleeping
Revision one of Cog is finished. Still several tweaks to be made in revision two, but no major changes to make.
Next step, the synopsis to get at least a rough draft done of that dreaded step. Then, revision two. Progress is being made.

Because books.
Where are you going, Sox? I hope you feel better -- traveling sick SUCKS.
Yay, Gud!

Viable Paradise for a week, starting on the 9th.
I am getting Tom Yum soup for lunch tomorrow. I had chicken soup today. Also, trying to not panic. Too many things are up in the air right now, or out of my hands, or there are evil bankers. I may need to drug myself and sleep a lot and then I'll feel better.
ETA: that's awesome news Gud!

Wacky things: I was looking at the royalty statement that turned up today (someday I'll earn out my advance, someday!), and saw a line for "Additional Earnings: Translation - Russian/adv on signing".
I now have an email out to my agent, asking about this. Russian translation? ZOMG WHAT?

That's ... weird. I've sometimes gotten payments for those things out of the blue (like a Portuguese publisher buying rights to one of the romances, usually for something really small like $300) but those were in situation where my publishers owned the foreign rights, and was selling them.
I'm just not getting why you're seeing it on your royalty statement if you never got a payment, unless in your contract they're accounting those earnings in with your advance.
I'm not explaining it well, but your agent will know.
Also? The Neil Gaiman quote on your Tumblr is excellent, and so true. Something we should all remember.

Hmmm. I have to look at my contract again, but I have a vague memory of my publisher owning foreign rights. (Now I really want German and Japanese versions of GCS!)

It's way too big to get as a tattoo, dammit. Otherwise I would.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
That is an awesome quote, Jilli, and one I should remember especially now, when the hormone demons are keeping up a constant chant of not good enough, not good enough, not good enough...
