HJ, glad to see that everything is okay with you. I really hope it starts to feel better soon though. It sounds really painful.
I've never been bit by a horse, but I imagine that it hurts a lot. I used to work on a farm when I was a kid and one day, we had put a cow in a stanchion and I was tying its legs down to clip its hooves, it kicked me right in the chest. It knocked me back onto the ground and I had a hoof shaped bruise right on my sternum for about a week.

So as it turns out it was green because of something about white blood cells and the healing process and all is well. Er, as well as it can be with a horrible horse bite. Who knew?! But he said the bruise (currently down past my elbow) will reach all the way to my hands, causing pain. No fun!
Tomorrow I fly out to Australia! It's going to be so nice to get away from the snow. This will be the furthest I've ever gone on my own and I'm not sure what I'll be walking into when I get there, but I'm so looking forward to catching up with friends. One lady I haven't seen for about three, four years and the other I've known for more than ten years online but never actually met!
And, it may be nerves about the trip spurring me on, but I actually wrote a little on the WIP last night. Only about 300 words but that's the first in about two months!
FM - heading into Sydney for a day, then off to Adelaide for Oz Comic Con (yeah, another sci fi convention!) then back to Sydney for a couple of days then home (via Hong Kong).
Muse - Thanks! Got a few more words done today too. Suddenly realised two of the characters knew each other when I hadn't known that before...
Didn't make the next cut in the Amazon contest. So I'm determined to send out a query today.

So, here's a question: I know a bunch of us have Russians wandering around our novels, but does anyone actually speak Russian? I have a three-letter acronym in my novel that needs a definition, and I want something a bit more meaningful than I'm going to get from an on-line transliterated dictionary.
If anybody is willing to help, drop me a note.
