I think I've learned one effect of prednisone in me: Insomnia. Wheee! I never have insomnia any more so this is sort of fun.

    I take prednisone for my asthma (not all the time, just--oh, whatever.), but I've never gotten insomnia. Of course, I can drink a pot of coffee and go back to sleep.

    you can take it now and then? I thought you had to wean yourself off the stuff?

    I mean that's what I have to do. Take a gazillion pills the first couple of days then gradually reduce over the next ten days.

    Insomnia is a common side effect. It would drive me nuts. I get obnoxious and short-tempered if I'm short 2 or 3 hours of sleep (I think it reminds me too much of training, which makes me grumpy).

    Evil prednisone. Get off it soon.

    Kate:

    I take five pills, then four the next day, then three, etc., etc. Just for when the inhaler/Advair/Singulair etc. combo isn't working.

    And i use the word verification, like you do. I think your site is just a lot more high-profile than mine so you get the spamming. I've never gotten it, but I've had word verification for a long time.

    Ye definately have t'wean yourself off o'it, m'darlin'.

    Don't just stop takin' it or just start takin' it. Eeeviiiilll things might happen. Dr. Douglas knows best (mmmm, sounds like a medical drama from th'1950's).

    BTW, since ye didn't leave me a comment section under th'post mentionin' me, I sent ye an email--well, two actually--tellin' ye I like th'carrots up th'nose thingy. 'Cause I do. Yeah. Th'carrots up th'nose thingy. ;)

    Forgive this uncultured ol'lesbian Pirate Queen for not sendin' ye me forwardin' address. Walkin' meself off th'plank now...

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.   ...

My Writing Day with an Unproductive Brain

My coworkers hear it all the time  and are profoundly uninterested me:  Okay, this isn't going to work. I have these characters drinking tea again. They need to do something else immediately. These words are chopped. Two hundred gone. And let's see, the confrontation is coming up soon. Any suggestions? also me:   Oh. My. God. Why bother? No one reads your books. No one thinks they're anything more than adequate. You can't seem to change your style to fit what people want. You're old news. OLD. NEWS. Stale old voice. There's no point in writing yet another book that no one will wants-- me: How about if they finally talk instead of just hinting around? Yeah, and maybe that guy will say what's been on his mind since chapter two. also me: Jesus. So boring. Talk, talk, talk. You know that your-- me: How about if they-- also me: --you know your books are worthless because people want conflict and angst. They don't want to read another book wit...
