And the lameness continues. Sorry folks, but I'm not going to be able to get Venus Cursed! up today, either. I haven't been sleeping well lately and it's really screwing up my ability to write anything. I took my laptop to bed with me on the off chance I could finish the chapter (it's half done, but that's two days works!), but it's not happening. So once I get this posted I'm off to sleep. Hopefully I'll sleep better than I have been and will be able to get lots of writing done tomorrow. Cross your fingers!
Oh, and I still haven't decided on the name of the company Sarah and the others are starting. So if you want to give me some more input on that, I won't turn it down! ;)

quick
call the fire dept. I smell a burn out coming on. Overwork. Is that smoke? Hurry.
The muse sometimes takes a vacation when you don't feel well. Take it easy and get caught up as you feel like it. I feel sure we can wait a day or so if necessary.
Agreed
Take it easy, relax, and let yourself sleep for awhile. It will do everyone a world of good.
BTW, I guessed it was your blog just from the name of it ^_~ So, really, please relax - you are much better that that!

How about...
The Treasure Portal. It's fairly simple, means something to Sarah and her friends, but won't give anything away to outsiders.

That gets my vote :)
Simple, elegant, and has a nice hidden meaning.

Take some time off.
We love your writing but none of us is selfish enough to push you beyond what is sane.
Come back when you get rested.

Ok, I'll take it up with the rules committee.
But I don't think they'll be very keen...
Take care of Saless fist and the rest of us lusers later :)

Chill out, relax,but
please most of all stop beating yourself up just because you have'nt finished your chapter, Whenever it's posted then great we will read it, But please,please make sure you get some sleep first!!! Just remember it's Saless first and Venus Cursed a very distant second!

Company name
Try not to fall into something like this:
http://www.wenhaircare.com/
Wen™ strikes me as a very innovative name for a beauty product.
You'd think they had no idea what a dictionary was.
I'm sure it will be followed by Pus™ Cleansing Lotion, and Diarrhoea™ Herbal Masque, just in time for Halloween.

Whoa a new word
I was confused by your comment. The only time I had ever seen the word Wen was on a soldering gun we had back in the radio tube days when I was a kid. I always just thought the word was a name.
You're right. Ugh! I'd never name a beauty product with that name!
Carla Ann
Ugh!
Really. It's a vague synonym for Wart™, another wonderful name for beauty products. I can see it now, Wart™ Wrinkle Wringer….

I find it hard
to fully understand that you should feel badly that you aren't up to getting a chapter out for two whole days. I have never started reading Venus Cursed, primarily because I can't take two weeks off to get caught up with you. I understand there are lots of us out there that are very disappointed if the next chapter doesn't appear "on time".
Frankly, I have a very weak and lazy muse. I go weeks without a decent idea, and months between one good enough to base a story on. You on the other hand have a supremely gifted one, and the technical expertise to take advantage of her talents as well.
If you and your muse are not up to writing for a few days, please don't push it. Maybe it's time for you to relax in bed a couple days with lots of fluids, and satisfy your muse with writings from others during this time. When you are better, you'll know it.

PS And you are Sooooo NOT pathetic!!
Put it this way...
If the legendary Angharad [1] can get away with the occasional break from writing what must already be the longest TG serial ever, surely you can as well?
So don't you dare call yourself pathetic just because it's taken you a few days longer than expected to write an episode - especially since some of the Whateley Canon Cabal's [2] muses have been known to go on strike for months or even years...
--Ben
[1] Whose name on more than one occasion I've nearly confused with Aunghadhail when commenting on Crystal Hall - but corrected myself just in time...
[2] There is no Canon Cabal. And there definitely isn't a Cannon Cabal. [3]
[3] Crystal Hall in-joke. If you're not familiar with the Whateleyverse, ignore.
As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!
They are right...
There is no Canon Cabal, I just saw it on my local cabal television news channel.
