Shelli Stevens

Okay, I just got back from the doctor. Basically she checked it and did that “Hmmm.” Noise, and I know that’s not really the best sign. Because it was the tone that said I’m not sure what this is. And then she actually did say that. So she had my blood drawn for a blood cell count. She said it could be nothing, maybe related to a cold or something. Also I’ve been getting mild headaches a few times a week, which is another reason I panicked.

But we should get the results in two or three days. She’ll call me if it’s bad, mail a letter if it’s good.

Thanks for the prayers, thoughts, and well wishes everyone! (Hugs!)

Okay, sorry I missed a day or two. I’ve been gone to Whidbey for a nice little break. Well, I got a lot of editing done, and went for walks. And I went to bed really early, like 9. Totally bizarre for me. But I was a little emotionally drained, and here’s why…

Something bizarre happened when I was editing. I had my hair piled on my head in a ponytail and I’m typing away, thinking how much I hate editing! Anyways, I ran my hand over the back of my neck and towards the bottom of my head, and I felt it. A big, hard ball like knot under my skin. I checked the other side of my neck to see if there was a matching one there and couldn’t find one. Soooo yeah I freaked out a bit. I’m hoping it’s nothing, and usually I’m not such a hyopchondriac, but for some reason it really worries me. And cancer runs in my family, and my brother had a big bump on his neck and discovered it was Hodgkin’s disease (he says my bump is nothing like his though.) So I’m still going to check. I have a doctors appointment in few hours. If people could send positive thoughts and prayers that’d be great.

Okay, off of the downer scary stuff. Cobblestone Press has contracted my book Silk Hauntings! Well, soon as I sign the contract and sign it back. I’m pretty excited. Right now I’m just trying to write my blurb. I hate blurbs, anyone else hate blurbs? I like reading them, but hate writing them. The key is not to rush it I think. Make sure they’re good. They have to make people want to buy your book afterall. Hee hee.

Well, I should get back to trying to write it though. Or maybe surf some blogs and catch up. Thanks for all the people who’ve been dropping by. It means a lot to me
