I can work while I ride!

Lorraine & Jenn 3So, last week I went to Virginia to not only visit my good buddy Ellery Adams, but to do a signing at the Short Pump Barnes & Noble in Richmond, but also to participate in a cozy mystery panel at the Virginia Festival of the book.  Both events were terrific.  I met a lot of new readers, and did many drop-in signings at bookstores in the area.  (We were pooped!)

Since I don't fly, we drove to Virginia. Losing a few days of work was out of the question, so I needed to be able to write during the journey.  The problem is, I get carsick if I try to read. I decided to give Over The Counter Medicine a try.

Can you say Bonine Motion Sickness Protection to the rescue?

I'm very pleased to say that the Bonine worked great.  Okay, I was writing longhand but I managed to get quite a bit of work done on the next Booktown Mystery.  The down side?  I was pretty sleepy.  But I got more work done with the Bonine than I would have without it.

Do you get motion sickness, and if so--what do you use.  (Anyone try those Sea-Bands?)

    Hey, LOVE your picture! Like the hair color, too. You're lookin' good!

    Wish I could have gotten to Virginia, but I rarely get more than 10-15 miles from home anymore. Your trip sounds like it was good as well as productive. Congrats! The two of you look like you were having a really good time. Hope there are many more such trips in your future. (And awfully glad the motion sickness meds worked!)

    I have used the Sea Bands for years on numerous occasions and have found them very successful. I don't need them for normal car rides (even when reading), but often put them on for windy or excessively bumpy roads. I use them the most on cruise ships -- I get seasick even when we are still at port.
