Not really. Our generous tutors provided an extra session last night where they filled us in on the professional stuff - writing query letters, getting unblocked, how to approach a publishing house or an agent, trends in SF etc - which was very interesting. We brought food and talked as we ate. Then, about halfway through, I started to feel ill and it developed from a blocked nose into asthma, headache and itches. No idea what caused it.
