That A stands for Arm.
I have been a little absent here lately because I woke up at 4 a.m. last week with what I call “a sleeve of pain” covering one shoulder. A little Interneting advised me I might have shoulder bursitis. So I downloaded advice and exercises and started popping ibuprofen and icing my injury (which came about as a result of all that outside painting, but keyboarding makes it worse). Yes, I called the doctor, but he’s very popular and I couldn’t get in to see him until two days ago. By that time, all the ibuprofen and the icing had done their thing. My muscles are still twitching, but as long as I keep up with the exercises, HOPEFULLY I shouldn’t have to be injected with cortisone. If he’d seen me last week, he would have given me a shot, he said. But, no, I’ll be fine in 6-8 weeks, and the injury started around mid-October, so no steroid shots for me! Sob.
I’ve also started an agent search for my single title mystery romance, SEX, PIs & PACKING TAPE. Wish me luck! I’ve sent out several e-queries and most of them ask the subject line to run something like QUERY: Title of Novel. However, Title of Novel includes the word “sex.” I have no clue if some of my queries are going into spam folders because of this. But when an agent’s website says, “Put QUERY: Title of Manuscript in Subject line, or you’re outta luck,” well, I’m sticking in the title. Besides, “QUERY: From Author Afraid to Insert Title” doesn’t sound very good.
Next week, I plan to edit an erotic romance single title for Penny.
What are you up to?
