Amazon's Novel Contest

Gearing up to send my manuscript to Amazon today. The last reading has revealed too long chapters, esp. at the end so I will do something about that. Everything always takes longer than one expects.

Wednesday I missed the last step going downstairs to th home office and broke my ankle. I was carrying a big laundry basket full of papers and didn't have good vision as to where I was going. Three odd things: I could wiggle my toes, put weight on my foot and it didn't hurt too much (after the fact). Waited until yesterday when the swelling and rainbow colors were somewhat alarming to go to the emergency room for the good long sit, which it was.
Xrays said broken ankle and maybe bone chip in foot.

The good news is that when I went to the bone doc today, she said no cast necessary, that a splint or weird shoe would do. I opted for the splint, and continue to hobble. Could whack people with the cane if they displease me, but I probably won't.

No interesting dramas in the emergency room last night. A good thing for the patients, a bad thing for a writer.

Oh well. I was able to finish Harlen Coben's Tell No One. Time wasted is never time wasted.

Hobbling along and sucking it up as usual,
