Thanks for the book rec, that sounds interesting! (What are radioactive brain weasels?) I'm glad to hear writing was happening for you, even if perhaps not what you intended. But sorry for not feeling quite the thing. I hope this'll be improve soon! *hugs* I'm forcing myself currently to go over an older drawer fic with edits as I promised to show it to a friend - forcing because I'm badly suffering from the horrible heat (yesterday was the hottest day in June since they started measuring, and sadly one of my mom's chickens died of a heat stroke. No wonder at 40°C. Fourty fucking degrees.) and am also preoccupied partly with reinstalling my desktop computer and migrating lots of data, and partly with possible serious data loss as one of my backup drives has been damaged. I haven't been as diligent as I should with making more than one backup of all of my files - due to my photography addiction and our collection of our music library as mp3s, and lots of recorded movies, there are a LOT of Gigabytes to store. I have a well-working backup system with my recent photos and other files, but the older ones aren't all stored in more than one backup place. Due to negligence on my part (not unplugging said backup drive before reinstalling the system) I got some software damage on it (Windows tried to install itself there without any reason nor giving any indication that it was about to), so the drive was no longer visible under windows, but we resolved that with the help of some Ubuntu tools. But when I was in the process of saving the data from the drive to another, due to negligence on Siljan's part the drive fell over when active and now there is also hardware damage. We haven't given up hope yet that the data might be salvageable, but it'll be expensive, I fear... Anyway, despite all this I managed to keep up with my writing rather well, adding about 800 new words to my usual amount of editing on the 25th, and about 500 words of the newly-started editing project (yes, I'm now editing two at the same time) in addition to the editing. I'm also quite happy that on the 14th, I reached 100k, which had been my first tentative word goal for the year, with 150k being a tentative second goal. I suppose I can now definitely aim for 200k, as I'm planning to do NaNo again as well.
