BLLLLEUUURRRGHHHHLLL...

...as I said to someone on Twitter. No, seriously. That was about the height of my wit at 7:30 this morning, and I'm afraid I've not moved on much since.

Yesterday was the first day of Nano, and it brought with it just over 2,000 words of Big Secret Project Book Two (YAY!). It also brought with it a strange bug which has given me a fuzzy head, achy joints, an extremely sore throat, and this creeping red rash on my face and neck (BOOO!).

And I need to try and hit my Nano target again today. Folding after just one day would be too pathetic for words. But since I'm still feeling like the grey slimy thing that one of my cats left on the doormat, those are about the only good words I'm going to be capable of, I think.

See you on Friday - when hopefully I'll look and feel and WRITE less like a grey slimy thing and more like, you know, a person.

    Oh no! It's ok though, because this is a virtual hug. Today, technology will protect me.

    I recommend jelly beans to make you feet better because they kind of look like medicine but taste like happiness.

    If it makes you feel better, I haven't even started my NaNo project yet because I'm still slogging through the final edits of my other manuscript. Bad, writer, bad!

    Elissa: I think you can cut yourself a break there - re-writing is just as important as drafting. Good luck with it!
