Unfortunately my health was suffering too much so I had to quit nanowrimo for this year. I get exhausted really easily, which leads to ill health and between this and my studies, something had to give, And lets be honest, my degree is much more important than nano. I've won the last 2 years, so I'm not as pissed as I would have been otherwise. I would love to be normal and healthy and have been able to do it, but I'm just not and I accept that. Hopefully my health will improve in the coming months and it'll turn out that not being able to complete nano this year was a factor in motivating me to get better. I'm going to go to the remaining nano events in Belfast, though and hopefully reach 35K. Thanks for the support everyone.

Today I wrote a grand total of 0 words. Instead I spent the day with my much better half and went to see the fantastic film, 'Sorry We Missed You', directed by the inimitable Ken Loach. It was a fantastic critique of the gig economy and the depravity suffered as a a direct cause of zero-hours contracts. I would recommend it to all, if for once you want to see something other than cute cat memes. :)
