Writers write
After a week of struggling through bad pain, today my world exploded into very bad pain. I can do nothing more than crawl back into my bed and swallow mind-numbing painkillers.
But I must do more than that, because there’s a novel outline half done and waiting for me to complete it before NaNo starts next weekend. I suppose I could just let it go.
No, I can’t do that. I just can’t. I’m compelled to keep going. If I’m not a writer, then what the hell am I? I write because I have to write. It’s what I do. It’s what I am.
So I’m crawling back to bed with my dictation machine. The painkillers can go swallow themselves until this outline is done.

You have more guts and determination than I would if I were in your shoes. Good luck with the dictation and hope the pain eases for you. Hugs.

I take my hat off to you, David. Good luck with the dictation, its actually a really good way to get ideas down, and to get a sense of voice.

hang in there David.
You are an inspiration to lazy fools like me who sometimes doesn’t write cos he has a headache or there’s something on the TV.

Thanks, everyone. I got hit by a kidney infection over the weekend, so there wasn’t a lot of writing going on.

There’s the answer to my question as to how you have been feeling.
I second what jamimemollart said. You really are an inspiration.

Lovely to see you, Renée. Thanks.
(I feel a serious fraud, though, because I’m simply stubborn.)
