#IWSG Quit Writing Over My Dead Body

tumbleweed

Kind of quiet around this blog and social media...
Sorry.
My spouse is a chef. A guy wanted to "audition" (or whatever) for a job and wanted a reference from my Snookums. The guy made food at his place and brought it to us. (We're now guessing his place wasn't very clean.) Soon after eating the blah food, Snookums and I were sharing a 🚽🤮 horrible experience. Eventually, we landed in the hospital because it was that bad.

And that is what the majority of June looked like.

I couldn't even sit upright most days. And let me tell you, I'm a very in-shape guy. And I've eaten foods that would freak most of you out. I can only imagine the amount of bacteria that must have been in/ on this food for it to defeat my immune system so spectacularly.

I am especially deeply sorry for falling short on my co-host duties last month. 😞

July 7 question - What would make you quit writing?


Answer:

Death. I never want to quit. 
I did put actual physical writing on hold last month. But I thought about my characters. 
So death is what would make me quit. 

A worldwide disaster could take down the publishing industry. (Anyone else watch "The Tomorrow War"? https://amzn.to/3dQj00A) That could stop me from publishing, but not from writing. I just wouldn't be able to share my work. (Though if I keep revising, I'm not sharing my work either... so I guess the aliens are winning... 👾😉😅)
