ROW80 check-in (March18) - Jennifer L. Oliver Books

This week has been rough so this update will be short and sweet.
The “ick” came to visit my household this week. It started with my husband, showering him with fever and chills, coughing and congestion. And being the great, loving spouse that he is, hubby decided to share his experience with me. Normally I’d be thrilled with his generosity, but I’ve learned there are just somethings we don’t need to share. This would be one of them. But I didn’t get that lesson in time, so I am now in the throes of a lovely head and chest cold. Oh joy.

Needless to say, I’ve not met many goals. But I did read several great blogs and helped promote others. I joined Triberr this week and it has introduced me to more great content and ability to help promote others in a more efficient manner. If you haven’t already joined, I would say it’s definitely worth looking into.

I knocked out about 1800 words early in the week, but that was all I could muster. I did have a couple of ideas for new WIPs. I’ve written those down to mull over later. Other than that, I’ve drunk a lot of orange juice and water this week. And I’ve laid on the couch with my husband and watch several episodes of Supernatural. We can call that research, right?

Even though I will be victorious in battling the “ick,” I just hope that I conquer it in time to end ROW80 with a bang. But enough about me, how are you doing? Have you been able to meet your goals for round one yet?

I’m not doing the ROW80 thing myself, but it sounds like you accomplished a good bit, considering you’ve been sick this week. I hope you’re feeling better very soon.

Thanks Mike! Can’t let a little old virus keep me from finishing my first novel, can I? Gotta keep up with the rest of you writaholics!! Lol!

Sorry you’ve been sick. Knocking out 1800 words is nothing to sneeze at. It looks like you are finishing strong.

Jennifer Oliver on March 18, 2012 at 5:08 PM

Thanks Ali! I’ve been following your progress as well and you’re doing great! Hope to see you in the next round!

Gee, I wish I’d knocked out 1800 words. I’ve started this new book 3 times. I need to rethink the motivation. So count yourself proud, lady. You’re doin’ good. And yes, Triberr rocks.

Awe, Jennifer that’s horrible. That’s no fun at all. I’m sorry to hear that you are sick. Yuck! But you did get something done this week. All was not lost!

Louise,
I’m hoping all this water I’m drinking will wash it right out of my system.
I hope your daughter and her family feel better soon.

Thanks Suzanne!
I told the hubster that next time he ended up with cold germs, I was going to wear a hospital mask until he got over it. Some things just don’t need to be shared! lol 😉
