Isaiah's Attic - educational experience + contributor copies

I knew niacin caused skin flushing, but I didn't realize just how much flushing. I also didn't realize that if ingested with a hot beverage like, say, ginger tea, the side effects could be exacerbated. Note to self: Do your homework. Dosage is crucial. First came the red and itchy skin (it looked like my entire body had been severely sunburned). This lasted for approximately thirty minutes. Next came the chills, which, thankfully, passed within only fifteen minutes or so. Everything is back to normal now, save for the slight case of vertigo I was attempting to get rid of in the first place. Methinks the rest of the niacin will be headed for the garbage. Lesson learned.

In happier news, I received my contributor copies of Shimmer today. It's a beautiful thing to behold. I can't wait to read all the stories. I'm also anxious to see how "Penny Wise" fares with the various reviewers the magazine usually goes to. This is one of my personal favorites as far as my own stuff is concerned so I could see myself taking it a little hard if the story ends up getting knocked around a bit.  I guess we'll  have to wait and see.  Anyway, if you haven't purchased a copy or subscribed yet, I urge you to do so.
