Research and Revisions

I'm working on another new story...duh...what writer isn't...? But this one involves some mental health issues - no not mine - the character in my story. 

I've been working on research and revisions in the story. So tell me, how do you do your research? Do you simply google and click or do you interview sources...and this is for fiction not nonfiction.

I've been doing a lot of on-line research and I'm thinking of talking with some parents (that I know - whose child is effected by the illness) I just don't want to seem insensitive. What advice would you give, if you've done this sort of thing?

Thanks.

Running, Water, Dehydration

I was running last week and it was warmer than usual. My leg started to cramp. I've never cramped up in a run...I know weird but it's true. The problem was that I was dehydrated from the run and sun...

Brown Rice Syrup/Sugar

I just thought everyone should be...aware:

brown rice sugar and brown rice syrup have high levels of arsenic. It may not be harmful to adults . . . but then again, it might be.

So make informed choices.

And, if you're interested, check out these links here and here or just google brown rice sugar and arsenic.

I WANT A DO-OVER

Okay so Lars and I have been married for nearly 30 years. I'm thinking why not do it all over again?

I'm thinking we could do it again with a big party...get all the old crew back together again for a re-newing of our vows with all our friends and family.  Wouldn't it be fun to have another wedding now that we're older and wiser... ;) and know what we're getting into this time...?

I know I'll never get back into that wedding dress but we could rent a couple of tuxes - get some fun dresses that make our old worn-out mom-bodies look good again. We could even have one of those pretty Ace of Cakes (look-alike) cakes (I wish) with music and celebrate the next 30 years...

What could be more fun than family, friends, and some good food...plus it would be a fun reason to see each other again...

Gifts for Life

The great thing about this gift is that it should help me get healthier and hopefully fitter too. This is a present that will encourage me to want to exercise more...

My kids got me an IPod Nano for Mother's Day so I can listen to music while I run. I can plug my micoach into the Nano and listen to my songs, podcasts and books while micoach cuts in every now and then to tell me to speed up or slow down...usually micoach is telling me to speed up tho'.

This is super Kewl since I'm gearing up for the marathon next month and my runs have been getting longer and longer and lonelier and lonelier. Now I can turn on my tunes and have a little someone to take along with me.

Hopefully, this gift is going to make it easier for me to run, and run, and run...

How 'bout you...any special health-minded gifts for you?
