What grim fate awaits our heroine?

[naomi_jay]

I can't help but worry that taking part in Nanowrimo is a bad idea when my RSI is currently at that "OHGODTHEPAIN!" stage most of the time. The rest of the time it's just the "why does my wrist keep clicking and why are my fingers numb?" stage. Trying to write 50k in 30 days seems a foolish idea, all things considered. I am on the NHS waiting list for physiotherapy, but judging from past experience, it would probably be quicker to chop my arm off and replace it with a hand-crafted wooden limb than it would be to get the NHS to do anything about it. Sadly carpentry is not amongst my talents.

However! I am determined to give it a shot. I have my wrist brace. I have a steady supply of painkillers. Most importantly, I have a reward of tasty, tasty sushi to look forward to. We shall see...

I had actually decided not to do it this year either due to work and health related issues - but once October first came around, I couldn't stand the thought of Not doing it. I don't expect I'll make the 50K either but... Just gotta give it a shot.

Go for it! What's your username? I can't remember if I added you last year or not.
