Where Have I Been?

Well not to London to see the Queen that's for sure.

These past few weeks have been a health nightmare and not surprisingly my writing output has been zilch!

It started off with a head-cold.  Yes I know, we all get them and they are yukky, but we cope.  But in the background my Hashimoto's Disease must have been ready to pounce on my system during a weak spot.  For those of you you don't know Hashimoto's is an anti-immune disease a form of under active thyroid.  I won't bother you with the details but I was drained of energy, my body hurt, most days I had a nasty headache basically it just floored me.  The worst part is that I didn't even have the energy to write and due to my brain fog couldn't think clearly anyway.

So, no output for roughly 4 weeks.  That is not good.  A friend of mine suggested jotting down a few small fillers, which, I still have in the back of my mind to do.  But I know that wont be enough for me so I have signed up for NaNoWriMo (?).  I have never done this before and have yet to navigate my way around the website but it will be a well needed kick to get me going again.  I know I made plans, new schedules etc a few months back but obviously, for one reason or another they haven't worked.  NaNoWriMo will be a big boost and get me back to where I want to be.  Writing everyday with a healthy word count at the end of the day.

I know I am not making a speech but there are a few people I would like to mention who have shown patience and kindness over the past few weeks.  Carl, my husband for looking after me, Linda my dear friend who always lifts my spirits and Vikki for all her information on NaNoWri Mo.

As ever, if you forgive me for my long absence, watch this space!
