All Germed Up

I unpublished my first book last week. There were a few editing errors that always irritated me, and I never really liked the title, so down it came to be re-edited and popped back up. It should have been a quick process. It wasn't because I live with a family of germbags and we've all had colds. One of those ones that's not too debilitating but just hangs on and on until you just want to shout at it, like Oliver Cromwell, "In the name of God, go!"

On Monday, everyone was sick. On Tuesday, the youngest was well enough to go to an appointment with me, and the other two stayed at home with Grandma. On Wednesday, everyone was well enough to go to school! Hooray! Editing was done. On Wednesday afternoon, everyone arrived at the school gate complaining they felt tired and sick. Eldest was pale, middle one was achy, and the youngest was just along for the ride. Boo! Thursday, everyone at home again. Middle and Youngest feel better. Friday: Youngest throws up all over her bed. Eldest still sick. Middle child miraculously not sick. Grandma arrives to take the oldest to school.

Amongst all that, I got the book re-edited, I think. Have to do another read-through because sometimes Grammarly goes a bit comma-happy and starts sprinkling them around like rain after a drought. Need to check that.

This morning, I decided to quickly edit my website because how hard can that be? Two hours later, I was staring at a wasteland where my website used to be, shaking and muttering, "The horror... the horror". Managed to sort that out. Probably. I have a new page on the site for resources which I'll continue to add to slowly. It's a work in progress, like escaping the germ warfare.
