Hey, Healthy Writers! I'm afraid my report today is dismal. Earlier in the week, I strained a muscle, which pinched a nerve. I'm writing this with numb, tingly fingers and a sore bicep. That, coupled with the fact that our bedroom and storage room flooded and our bed is currently in the living room, means I did practically no exercise this week. Here's to a better next week!
In other news, I'm lucky to live in a place with LOTS of author events. Last week, me and my crit partner Chersti got to attend the Dark Days tour! Dan Wells, Kiersten White, Brodi Ashton, Debra Driza, Claudia Gray, and Lauren Oliver, all in one place. The Q&A was hilarious, the authors friendly, and the company entertaining.
So, my friends, have you done any fun writerly/readerly things lately? Who are some of your favorite authors you'd love to meet?

Don't feel bad, I had zero excuses and didn't get anything done 'healthy' wise.
A new week brings new opportunities and I hope you start feeling better soon :)
Ooh, I'm a Dan Wells fan too! Loved Partials. And yes, I'm jealous that you live with a lot of awesome people :)
I'm sorry about your arm and fingers. I totally hear ya there. Good luck with everything! I hope you nerve gets better and that you can move your bed back into the bedroom soon.
I wish I could have gone to that--so many cool writers. And I LOVE Lauren Oliver! I am going to Brandon Mull's book launch tonight, so I'm excited for that!
I hope you feel better soon! I used to live in a place w/ author events. I miss it so much now. :(
I'm sorry to learn you had a bad week. The flooding sounds horrible. Hope you feel better soon.
Sorry to hear that you've been out of commission. But looks as though your week wasn't all bad!
It must've taken some exercise to move the bed into the living room! :)
I'm sorry you're injured! Hope you feel better soon.
This event sounds fun! I went to an author reading last night - part of NYC Teen Author Reading Festival. I didn't get any pics with the authors but it was fun to hear them read and discuss their books. :)
Hope you are better soon!
What's new with me? I started a new blog called, Victorian Scribbles. (Check it out when you have time.)
What author would I like to meet? Lewis Buzbee, I'd want him to autograph all of his books I bought.
Sorry about your mishap. Hope you get well soon.
And awesome that you have so many writerly events!

see! Exercise isn't good for you after all! ;)
Hope you feel better soon.
Muscle strains can be bad. Hope you recover soon.
Hello, my friend! It makes me so happy to finally return to the land of blogging and see your smiling face. I hope you feel better soon!
I'm also enjoying these older posts about story structure. I agree that it's critical to know these plot points, even if you don't consider yourself a plotter. Well done!
Oh lucky you!
I'm glad you had fun and hope this week will be less chaotic for you.
Lisa Mcmann is a local author and one of the very few I was lucky to meet once.

Sounds awesome! I really wanted to go but, alas, real life got in the way.
