Considering A Cold

writing, and not

It has the sore throat and the stuffed nose, and it has exhausted me, but worst of all, it has the tendency to muzzy my thoughts. Even beyond the need for judicious naps, very little is getting written.

Life happens. Crunch time at work. Family visits. Preparations for a holiday, and then the holiday. (Many a soul has observed online that choosing November for NaNoWriMo because of the holiday said a lot about the founders of NaNoWriMo.)

The big question is getting back on the horse.

A cold is a hard case. So is something like helping a family member though a transition where the help tapers off rather than ceases.

Once you are improving, once more of your time is free, if you don’t start to get back to writing, you may never return.

Habits, once broken, are hard to reform.

Nevertheless, I may post memes the rest of the week.
