Dream, do you do the Beta Reader thing?

[Dream]

I've been sick with something or other every week for the month of February. Still sick. This bites.

Ack. I only caught the bug once so far.

It completely sucks. I think there were all of about 5 days I wasn't sick throughout the month. I had the flu, a stomach bug, and now something upper respiratory/stomach bug-y going on. I don't think I've gotten this sick for years. It's usually a bit of a bug in January or February and then I get hit with allergies from spring to early fall, which is annoying but doesn't typically knock me down or anything, and come down with something in mid-fall.

Plus side is I've lost 15 pounds, the downside is I'm fucking starving but can't eat more than plain white rice without getting sick and I fucking hate rice. Tried having some grilled chicken tenders and stuffed mushrooms yesterday, it did not go well. (seriously, food has never tasted as good as it did when I ate yesterday, but then a little later it was not so pleasant )

Dream, do you do the Beta Reader thing?

I'm planning on doing that once I finish this set of rewrites. For now, Mark is my beta reader and he's telling me things that need to be fixed in each book. He's done the first two so far and is working on the third now. I'm still editing the second so once I get the rewrites done for the second and third bookI'm probably going to look into the beta reader thing, or at least getting some people in a writing group I'm a part of to read a chapter or two and get feedback from them that way.
