Sick

3/7/2018

36 Comments

 
I’m sick this week. Nothing fun to say, just...sick.

It’s this cold/flu/ancient curse that’s been going around lately, and it’s made the last few days pretty miserable. Hoping to shake it by this weekend.

Until then, I’m basically just coughing up lung after lung. Eventually, I’ll run out of spare lungs.

Hope you get better Will. I'll send some sacred artists skilled in the healing arts over.

I'm right there with ya. Just know I'm counting on you to be a beacon and pull through this evil, unholy, disgusting curse. Your example will guide all with this plague to the light so we can continue our journey of boats, souls and blades together. You are needed in this hour of darkness.

Seriously I feel like I've been beat the last couple days only to wake up and beg for more because of this sickness. I feel you. Hope you feel better.

I hope you get better soon. That terrible curse had me stricken for some time. I had a flu first, immediately after I got a fever, then I was plagued by an upset stomach. Not a day of rest for a little over a week. Terrible stuff.

What you need is an iron lung....just find someone with an iron body and take theirs!

The plague has claimed Will! I must double down on my defenses. No more going outside! I mean... even less than usual.

On another note, how did you even manage to get sick in the first place? I thought us self-employed people never left our homes!

I can't figure it out. I mean, I went the the airport and licked all the handrails, but I do that every day.

Well if you want one of my lungs, you can have one. I mean, you probably don't. But neither do I so I thought I'd offer...

Sorry to hear you're ill

As I'm not a medical professional, I won't offer any health advice like 'get plenty of fluids and rest' or 'don't make any promises you can't keep'.

Hope you feel better soon. And not just out of the selfish desire to get the next story as soon as possible.

You should draw some fire madra in.
Just light some candles - ask the fire madra to purify you - and start breathing it - use what ever cycling technique you are on .- and tommorow you will be just fine ☺

Hope that the Druid gets back in time to remove that curse but out of curiosity, why is there a masked swordsman with an impracticaly long sword and a powder blue doll in a scene from Andrew Rowe’s sufficiently advanced magic. Did Simon get lost in some territory and end up in one of the shifting spires?

This has been a topic of discussion numerous times on Will's blog. As I understand it, Andrew Rowe and Will do some beta reading for one another, so Andrew threw in a cameo for Simon in his book. There's been much speculation on how he got there!

I kinda thought that was the case when I first read SAM but I was rereading it again and I so hope that they’re connected.

Actually explaining that was one of the suggested short story ideas. It didn't get the vote but maybe Will will consider doing it in the future.

Won’t be satisfied by an explanation anymore. We need a WillxRowe crossover. We need Simon climbing one of the Towers and fighting a Visage.

Too bad you're sick Will. You know, some light reading always helps me through an illness.

You should read Mother of Learning! There was a new chapter just a few hours ago.

While this is not directly related to the content of this post, I was curious if you have ever considered making a Patreon. Some other authors I enjoy have one, and I think it is a good way for those who enjoy your content to be able to help support you in between books being published. Because life expenses do not always coincide with book publications :)

I have considered it! Mainly as a way to keep people involved, though. While it would be nice to smooth out my spiky, unpredictable income, I just save most of the money I make from new book releases and I don't spend much.

Or just write faster 😈 You think you can challenge Brandon Sanderson in just a year with that attitude? The gap from overlord to sage is wider than you believe.

A keyboard in motion stays in motion! A keyboard at rest stays at rest! I started/finished travelers gate this week- really great! Reminded me a little of the greatcoats series. I can’t wait to see what happens to Simon and Lindon! I tried OKAK before, but I’ll try to get into it again.

sooo.. one lung replaced with gills? Seems like it might soothe coughing to breath water instead for a week ;)

But that might turn Will into the Great Elder we know he is destined to become.

W'll w'ght, the Elder of small but nevertheless irritating waits between sequels.

Getting worried about you Will. Haven't heard from you for some time now. It's been awhile with no word after you informed us your were stricken with a curse. I am hoping you are feeling better and are working on the books opposed to still holed up feeling horrible.

He has been spotted on the discord responding to questions. Therefore we have reason to suspect that he has not been stricken dead by the black death.

I garentee that Will is lurking around here. He's just not posting anything because he's sick and it takes more work to reply than to just lurk.

Or.. maybe he just likes to lurk, sneaking around, preparing to swoop down on the unsuspekting prey?

I mean, who doesent like to do that?

Even debilitating illness cannot stop me from swooping in on unsuspecting prey.

Don't worry, I'm alive! I was just busy and then sick and then sick and then busy. It's been a whirlwind.

I'm back, though!

Glad that trip to the Valinhall pool did you some good. Hopefully there were only 2 or 3 attempts by the imps to eat you while healing.
