“I want to smash my all-time Nano high word count of 160,605 from 2009. Can I do it?” The verdict for 2011 “National Novel Writing Month“? The 2009 record has been broken! Bad news: it was broken by more of a whimper than a smash. For the first part of the month the writing [...] I have an undiagnosed fatigue problem, and since the middle of March have been in the midst of a flare-up. The older I get the more flare-ups I get, the worse overall I get. It affects my entire life, including my writing life.
