It's been a challenge, that's for sure. I just put a rogan josh curry on the stove to cook and what was really very little preparation (cutting up the meat, mostly,) has me now shaking like a leaf. Not to mention my bad wrist is Not Happy, so hooray for one hand typing! Gah. It's so frustrating - if it's not my knees, it's my wrist or my jaw or my blood pressure dropping like a stone or or or. Phooey, I say!
I love historicals, though my history interests are fairly rare in romance, especially as I'm *such* a nit picker myself. It's because I know my own nit-picking that I'm doing so much research. I've also been picking the brains of a good friend and co-writer on medieval Korea and China, as one of my two main characters is Korean and he and his lover who is Greek Byzantine are heading towards China. So it's a Byzantine-medieval period road novel. On horses. It also allows me to write about places that have fascinated me since I was a child, and cultures and history of those cultures that I love reading about. The countries the Silk Road goes through are full of all these amazing ruins with so much history and oral history attached to them, that I find myself losing entire nights on reading and looking at beautiful photos.
Oh righto - that sounds like a lot of fun. I might give it a go next Thursday, when I'm not Ms Shake-a-lot! (Though the smell of this curry is amazing and if it tastes half as good as it smells, it'll be worth it.)
I walk, although the idea of a hoola hoop is an awesome one and I think I'll have to invest in one because that's something I could actually physically do. I usually queue up the playlist of whatever I'm writing on my iPod and walk, although I'm slow because of the disabilities. And when it's wet weather, the hoola hoop would be an awesome alternative. Thanks for giving me the idea, that's brilliant!
