Try Turmeric ( yes, the spice ), ginger, and MSM supplements. Read up on them or talk to a naturopath. All have worked well for my back issues and there are no contraindications like drugs. Plan on maybe 50% reduction in pain. Takes time for MsM to work into the system days or weeks. Turmeric is more immediate and is synergistic with NSAIDs and asprin.

I mean hey, you are doing what you love so you are not working. Instead, you are turning your hobby into a profitable activity. Like you, I am one of those ‘hair-shirt people”.

I didn't get around to reading her latest novel. I got busy working on other things. I didn't see the apology on the listserve, but I do see that SCBWI is against self-publishing. I have been against self-pubbing myself for many years, but in the last two years things really started changing. There are still a lot of bad, self-pubbed books out there, but there have been some good ones, too. I think now we just have to judge them on a case-by-case basis. That said, I must admit that I don't buy self-pubbed books unless they are written by friends. I don't hear about them unless they are published by friends and I wouldn't know how to weed through them all, even if I did hear of them. Is there some big self-pubbed review site? I bet there is.

As soon as I get home tonight, I'm buying Hatttie Big Sky even though I'm not going to SpringMingle. I usually read like crazy before SCBWI conferences too. John Green, Walter Dean Myers, Shannon Hale....I've discovered so many of my favorite authors by doing this conference prep "work." Sometimes I feel guilty too. Can't seem to shake the feeling I should be writing instead of reading another author's work. BTW - I'm not going to SpringMingle because I've already heard Kirby Larson speak (twice - she's a wonderful speaker) & because Mary Kole has already declined to represent me (after the Athens Conference last summer)...also, I've started to feel a wee bit crabby about how anti-selfpublishing the SCBWI Southern Breeze folk have been. I was so sorry to see one well-known member feel the need to apologize on our listserve for her decision to self-pub. That makes my teeth itch. :doh: I am SOOOO glad you posted this.
