From her home in the forest, writer Marsha Ward offers up an eclectic collage of musings on life, insights into the writing process, sample scenes and snippets from her work, book spotlights, and author interviews. Now including "The Characters in Marsha's Head."
I feel just plain awful, and I'm fighting my stomach to keep it from doing something gross. There's not going to be any writing done today. I'm going back to bed right now.
Marsha, You poor kid ... I'm so sorry to hear you're sick.
Years ago a doctor told me that when you have a stomach bug, you should stop eating for 24 hours, then start back with Gatorade. Once you can handle that, go to saltines, and finally, clear soup.
I don't usually make it the full 24hours without eating, but it does work if you avoid eating for at least 1/3 to 3/4 of a day, and then start on Gatorade.
Marsha,
