Just when I needed it most, I got an acceptance. And not only that, but the piece was instantly published. You can read my flash Love is the Firmest Foundation, a flash told in four micros, at edifice Wrecked now.
My August flashathon has begun and it's off to a good start. Lots of participants and I even managed to write something today. Hooray!
The not-so-good news is that I'm still dealing with the kidney stone(s) as well as a probably kidney infection. But I've seen my doctor and got some meds, so hopefully this will all pass soon.
I've gotten a decent amount of knitting in while I've been sick. It helps to have something other than the pain to focus on. Emma's mermaid outfit is getting close to completion, and a surprise I'm working on for the girls is coming along slowly but surely. I finished my mom's socks and am making a couple of dishcloths to send along with them. I'll post pics when everything is done.

wooohooo! congrats on the flash fic, sharon. love it -- much to learn there (i'm a fledgling when it comes to fiction).
so sorry about the kidney stone(s). i hear they cause horrible pain. it must be pure torture -- especially without painkillers. hope everything passes soon. **healing hug**
thanks so much for mr stegs!! there's a pic right now on my blog. hee. he seems very attracted to books.
can't wait to see emma's mermaid outfit.

Michi - thanks! I'm in this weird zone of writing and pain, but at least I'm writing.
Arlene - now that Dennis is home again, I'm taking my Percocet every night, which helps immensely. Still hurts like hell, though. I'm glad Mr. Stegs made it okay. I thought I saw him eyeing my 10-volume set of The Arabian Nights.
Man, that must really hurt, Sharon. I'm so sorry to hear this. But congratulations on the acceptance!
Really liked your flash story but i couldn't figure out how to comment, maybe you have to register first. hope you're feeling better.
Thanks Stephanie! The stone finally passed last weekend and I'm finally feeling better.
rdl - thank you so much for taking the trouble to read my story and then come back here to comment! Glad you enjoyed it.
