I wish I could think of something clever and funny atm, but my mind is filled with cotton–or snot that’s dried like cotton around my brain. So, today’s update brought to you by The Gross Unfunny Dani.
I could have updated on the first, except I broke my foot. And after hospital visits and xrays, I thought I’d give it a few days and then write the post. What happened? The EVIL COLD OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION™. The worst cold in the history of colds struck me and my husband at the same time.
I am NOT good at sick. I whine and bitch and moan and so I tend to just shut down and talk to zero people. My entire family and friends have been like “ZOMG ARE YOU OKAY?” because I just haven’t responded to anything with email, twitter, facebook etc. To those of you who worried, I’m sorry. If you want groveling, I’ll hock a loogie on you big enough to use in a horror film.
Meanwhile, I have a ton of news. I finished NSI, but I haven’t done any editing since I did that on the 2nd of Sept. No idea how much editing I have to do, but after looking at one chapter today, it’s a lot. A LOT. I’ll probably have more info when I get a chance to read the last four chapters I wrote. Next things I need to do: edit, send to beta, compile in scrivener for a word count, edit some more, sent to other beta, edit edit some more =p.
Other news:
My cover for Sara Alva’s Silent has been nominated for the cover awards. It’s Rainbow Awards cover contest–the cover is #398 You can vote here: http://reviews-and-ramblings.dreamwidth.org/4429374.html?mode=reply by replying to the post or on the livejournal page, if you have an LJ account.
Not so much my news, but Sara Alva’s Social Skills is out on audiobook! http://www.amazon.com/Social-Skills/dp/B00NLKIEA4/ref=la_B00BA91S9W_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1410902661&sr=1-1 If you’re wondering why I’m announcing this here: For those of you that don’t know, I became friends with Sara because of Social Skills. I stalked emailed her after I read it and fanboi’d all over her face. For some reason, she didn’t take a restraining order out on me and we’ve been friends ever since.
That’s your update for today. Hope your fall is going terrific! For the rest of the day, I’m on a search for my lungs. I think they’re under the sofa along with two boxes of Kleenex.

To say that you’ve been in the wars is putting it mildly…… anyway, hope the bones heal soon and you slay the big green snot monster. I hope you find your lungs, but if not, I’m sure you can buy a set on eBay!
Good to hear that NSI is coming along, I know that it will be worth waiting for.
Dani Alexander
Thanks, Ali =)
I warned my lungs about the ebay thing. They rushed right back, but forgot to dry out before reengaging my chest >8(

That was snot funny. See what I did there? I’m sick with you and miserable right now so I guess misery loves company. I look like Rudolph the red nose reindeer.
Rest up and feel better soon!
Dani Alexander
I see what you did there =D *snort* I hope yours clears up soon! being sick sucks =/
Tina Marie
Thanks for the snotty update Dani! Hopefully this cold will make all other colds realize that you have suffered enough and they will stay away. Though it IS only September and cold season runs until… um, forever, so. Yeah. I hope you feel better fast and are up walking around with no pain in your ankle or snot running down your face. Congrats on the cover nom, that is so great for you! Patiently awaiting NSI. Glad you’re making progress!
Dani Alexander
<3 Thanks Tina. I hope that cold learned its lesson too. (and by lesson, I mean it had to listen to me whine for two weeks, so I probably whined it to death).

Hi, sorry you’re sick. Drink some hot lemonade with honey and whiskey. That will fix you up. Also if you are looking for something fin to do try this: http://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test
I’m currently obsessed with it and make my friends do it.
P’s if I stalk/email you enough and our personalities are compatible will you be my friend?
Dani Alexander
I’d probably just frustrate anyone who tried to stalk me as I’m incredibly boring and always just sitting in front of a computer doing nothing. =D
Robi Lombardi

Dani Alexander
<3 Thanks, Robi. They're useful for screaming about how my lungs hurt, for sure =-D
