Health Update

It's hard for me to pinpoint the exact time I got sick; but if pushed, I would say: Labour Day Weekend. I was in the throws of writing a targeted number of words (25,000) for the 3-day novel contest when a semi-flu overwhelmed me, morphing from a long weekend of illness into a few weeks.

My energy never quite recovered. I had returned to work but was struggling. I was fatigued despite a full night's sleep, had headaches, was stressed, was irritable, nauseous, and a plethora of other inconvenient interruptions in my health and well-being.

Tired

Feeling really tired, yet still wired.

Health & Wellness Update

I have not been writing due to not feeling well. I've managed to sometimes do my morning pages to perk me up a bit, however real writing has escaped me in the last 6 weeks. I've not given up; I've simply recognized that when I'm not well, neither is my writing. And when I'm not writing, I'm usually not well. I don't need to know whether it's chicken or egg to make it stop. I just have to rest, do lots of self-care, continue my morning pages, rest some more and the writing will come.
