    Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well. That sick day issue can be challenging…a few months ago I had a freelance piece due to a major newspaper that had space set aside for it, and I dragged myself from the bathroom floor to ask if they could put it off for a week, but they couldn’t. I wrote it anyway and am amazed I could put two words together, much less 1600.
    Maybe midweek you might be up for a quick chat or email correspondence about blogging for writers…I’m writing an article for the ASJA (American Society of Journalists and Authors) newsletter. Couldn’t find an email for you so I figured I could reach you this way!
    Thanks,

    Jan, I’ll contact you via email.
