Quick update (and a mildly embarrassing fanboy outburst)
I’m still borked. The logic of ME/fibro experience would suggest that after a very quiet weekend…
(lots of international rugby on the telly in addition to my beloved RealityTVfest of I’m A Sleb and Strictly Come Dancing and the X Factor – yeah shoot me if you want but it’s sparkly telly to brighten up the dark winter evenings – followed by the opening 90 minutes of the promising new Survivor series)
…I should be feeling relatively okay today. Except that I don’t, and there’s neither rhyme nor reason so I won’t bore you with theories or explorations. It’ll pass when it passes.
Meanwhile, I started work on Quarter Square’s second draft last week. After a two-month pause since finishing the first draft I still love the story. That’s a yay.
What else…
Oh, yes: Stephen Fry and I are following one another on Twitter. He’s the famous person I would most like to have as a friend. Lovely man. So that’s a Yay!

Hugs on feeling better. And good for you for acknowledging it. I used to be (okay still am) bad at hiding it until I can’t function…

That’s great that Quarter Square’s still got your attention. And that you love it rather than see its flaws in the first moment is important

Thanks Jamie, Alex, and Margaret.
Look at that: three of my favourite people all together on one page when I woke up this morning!

if you ever come state-side, hit the radon mines in montana. my mother experiences an 80% reduction in pain for about 6 months… before she heads back to the mines.

Dearest David,
Yeah. FM/ME is inexplicable. My experience mirrors yours. Plan and rest all you want, it promises nothing! [explitive deleted]
I find I am missing you, but haven’t had the energy to catch up with your prolific journaling, blogging, etc. I promise to do so in December, as there is a chance in hell I WILL finish NANO (although I have crashed after a big push last weekened.)
Did I tell you I changed my name? Swiss cheese memory fails once again. Used to be Elizabeth Anne. No am Serena Mira Asta.
I’d love to follow you on Facebook (Serena Mira Asta – I’ll send you an invite) and Twitter (SerenaMiraAsta – you’ll have to send me one since I don’t know your Twitter user name). Also am Serena Mira Asta on Nano this year. Simplified to just use the real name.
Hope you are feeling at least a TAD better soon. I look forward to catching up on your writings, etc.
Gentle hugs. And seeing how it’s Thanksgiving in the States, I feel grateful to know you.
Warmly,
Serena (used to be Elizabeth)

I’ll do that if I ever visit the States again, Alex. Montana is one of my dream destinations.
Hello, Serena. I’m so glad you tracked me down. I’ve missed you.
Not getting any better yet, I’m afraid. In fact, I’m a helluva lot worse after falling heavily in the shower yesterday. Banged about something terrible and not having the best of fun.
