When I said that this was a bad month for NaNoWriMo, I meant it. What I didn’t know was that on top of the accounted-for holiday, family illness, and associated travel, November has decided to become the Month From Hell.

Wondering why my word count sucks? In addition to the previously mentioned issues I’ve got family members who are sick with normal stuff (two), another with a broken wrist (way to swan dive off the roof, big guy;), and one in the hospital for surgery after catching virulent New Zealand germs (hi Dad!). (I’m sure that the NZ germs were quite friendly though. And picturesque; lovely place.) And oh yes, I got sick too. So, for anyone out there wondering at my less-than-par word count, well.

The good news is our overall family health is improving and that’s what matters. As far as NaNo is concerned, of course, the important thing is to just keep writing:)
