Dyshidrosis
Another name for it is "housewife's eczema." Commonly found on the palms.
What causes it?
Stress. Like when you have a summer with lots of writing to do AND lots of kids, kids' activities, out-of-town company, at least one family vaca.
What else causes it?
Sunlight. Chlorinated pool water. Soap. Something I didn't totally understand involving fungus.
I obviously need to hire a nanny, drain the pool, use only disposable plates and cups, stop bathing, eat mushrooms and move to a dark cave with my MacBook.
Help!

And put your kids in drop in daycare a few days a week.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good wishes about Karen at Puffin.
It's been a long year of waiting for that particular ms to sell. I haen't gotten serious about an agent, yet.
I read about your deal a few weeks ago! Congrats on snagging Delacorte and of course RV, the queen of agenting!
Colorado Writer: Great suggestion. Thank you for the congrats. I've heard wonderful things about Karen, so will keep my fingers crossed for you. :) Let me know what happens. Also, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is one of my favorite books too. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you need some deep breathing techniques and a comfortable pair of cotton gloves. :-)
ReplyDeleteSandy: I shoul've known you'd come up with a breathing solution. :) Thank you!
