High blood pressure is quite frightening, and I'm very glad they were able to bring it down with medication. I have family members who struggle with this so I know how very important it is that it be treated properly. Sometimes stress can masquerade as other things as well, and perhaps it is why you are still feeling light-headed and tired. Of course, I will hope the tests give you answers. And husbands never do listen when they are told not to do something. We love them in spite of it. I'll hope things do get back to normal soon for you, and remain happily uneventful and full of inspiration. For myself, I will struggle with my draft for the National Novel Writers Month competition, and tug at my hair, and mutter darkly at my muses.

I think stream of consciousness as a style refers to the style of writing where you literally record your thoughts without attempting to instill order or conform to normal rules of grammar. Sort of like when you;re thinking to yourself and something totally unrelated pops in before you return to your original train of thought. Kerouac might be an example of that sort of narrative flow, or even James Joyce. It's actually not a bad technique to add some drama with a good internal monologue in that form, and it can make a character really come to life.

I have dialogues going on in my head some days,and other days, it's just spilling out from some nameless void within. It doesn't seem to matter, though. As long as I can write, it's all good. Now as to the other things you've mentioned, I'll be a mod for a moment as opposed to an author. The avatar needs to be hosted on a website like Photobucket or Gravatar. As far as I know, we are no longer able to use uploaded photos. Photobucket is free however and works find for me. Simply use the handy link they provide and paste it into the custom photo url field. You can promote your story in this thread, appropriately enough called Promote a Story! This way more people will see it, and possibly read it.
