On Health, or Lack Thereof

You may notice from my word count widget on the sidebar that I'm a little bit behind on my novel. But I have very good reason to not be writing.

Firstly, my novel's plot is not complex enough to reach 50k. Crazy, I know. I don't even know if i'll bother finishing nanowrimo.

my second, slightly more sound, reason is that I've had a terrible cold since Tuesday. I haven't been getting much sleep at night, and have been trying to nap throughout the day, without much luck. Last night was probably the worst. I woke up at six to a nosebleed that's only just subsided. Six hours of blood dripping from your nose is not much fun.

However, last night I was allowed 40 minutes of enjoyment- I watched an episode of Merlin with by dad and Becca. Becca is pretty picky about her tv shows, so I made sure to pick out a good one, namely one with Gwaine. The Eye of the Phoenix was the only way to go. I loved it. Becca liked Gwaine.

Happy Thanksgiving (if you're in the US that is)!
