Do you have any disabilities that affect your creativity?
Ultradian bipolar disorder, but I don't really call that a disability

Jill informed me, and I thank her for that.
Any other News?
I created a TV series that now appears to be seconds from selling to one of the cable networks.
Yes well I was sure we would win the 49 mill last night but NO! Oh well we are bound to win next week.
Sounds like you and your sister have been through quite a lot together. It is good you can both be supportive and caring. I think it helps a lot when you have people you can trust around. When I lived on my own a few years I found I would think too much and brood on things all the time. I'm much happier shareing with Azzi now. But when I was married I was unhappy shareing so it doesn't always work.
I hope you find a good publisher for your books soon as well.
and other groups to do with writing and books. So it may be worth you getting in touch with her.
Yes it would be nice to win the lottery and get your series sold. Every week before the lottery draw I have a little daydream what to do with the money when I win. Every week I am convinced I will win! At the moment my cause is housing and homelessness so I would spend a lot on providing good easily affordable housing for people who can't get any now. But my causes change on a regular basis. Of course I will give a lot to you for the cats as well!
Yes it is much better to be breathing well again. And I appreciate being able to breath in a way I never did before I got ill.
I'm a bit shocked at the moment because poor Alec told me in May that his Mom had got cancer but the treatment prospects looked good but now he just told me she has died. Terrible shock for him isn't it. Do you know Alec on here? He lives in Seattle which I think of as being up your way!
have you finished the 5 novels yet?! Only joking! Mind you the way you are so creative I wouldn't be surprised How are the kittens and everything? I am much happier with a stronger inhalor that has given me a new lease of life this summer. Didn't think I'd ever feel so well again. Well except for recurring stomach problems which continue on and off but the breathing is much easier. Hope it stays that way!
Anyway this is all really just to say I hope you are doing well at the moment.
Wow five different novels at the same time is quite something! Hope you don't get confused with so many different characters to keep track of though. But you seem so talented you probably manage fine.
I went for the results of my breathing test today and was told I have to go for a chest xray and take a stronger inhaler. I was expecting the news so it wasn't a shock really.
Went to this nursery afterwards and bought some plants for the garden including some marigolds which look really bright and cheerful and some rock plants for a small rockery area we are planning in one corner. It's only a very little garden but I like to fit a lot in!
Anyway don't worry about writing back because I know you are not feeling too bright lately. I'll be back round to see how you are getting on before long anyway.
I think I am confused by inhalers and ventilators as I thought they are the same! I have got an inhaler but probably not a ventilator if it is different! I will have to look these things up and learn what I am talking about...
Fancy you still having snow over there. It must seem like a long winter to you. Yes I am looking forward to time in the garden in the sun this summer. The daffodils and tulips are now nearly over so I am thinking what to plant that will flower next. Probably some wallflowers which smell really nice as well.
Anyway take it easy and I hope you feel better soon.
Sorry to hear you have been down with ashma. Do you have to use ventilators? I was given one by my doctor since my breating got bad and it helps quite a lot when I use it.
Things here are ticking along. Managed to get in the garden in the sun a few times. I think it was the ottest April ever over here! otherwise I am mainly on the computer doing this and that.
I was going round the blogs I visit on Entrecard yesterday and noone said they were affected by that virus. From what I could gather they don't know who is responsible but it seems to originate in the far East and is a way of taking control of people's computers but they don't know what for. Really annoying people to do stuff like that. Like the spammer who was on every page on here last weekend. Apparently it was a robot spam which joined every Ning network and left a mobile phone ringtone advert on every members page! Surely they know noone responds to spam messages anyway?
Oh well I'm glad to hear you may be warming up and getting some Spring sun over there. It has really cheered me up having the daffodils and pansies flowering just outside the living room. I even went out and stayed in the garden a while the other day. It was really warm in the sun.
I was just reading that big profits are being made by windmill owners as they are getting subsidies to produce eco power. I'd love to have a windmill and be free of the electric bills. What a terrible situation when people are losing their homes or being driven to bankruptcy by heating bills.
Anyway hope things are going well for you today. I did my April Fools blog! That kept me amused for a while!
Wow science fiction in the future. You have got such a wonderful imagination. I'll be keen to hear how the novel progresses.
A heated greenhouse for veggies sounds great but I just got our winter heating bill for electric and wouldn't use that but we have no choice as there is no gas in this house. Considering it is a small house it is an extortionate bill. They now say many people are in 'fuel poverty' as heating costs are rising to over 10% of their incomes. Ridiculous situation.
So you have been having late snow. It is sunny again here today but still cold out. So I am staying in in the warm!

I don't know about literary agents but we do have Shelagh Watkins among our members who has written books and has a group called Published Authors:

and other groups to do with writing and books. So it may be worth you getting in touch with her.
