Midway Through November

It's 11/15, and for the eighth year in a row, I'm in the middle of writing a novel. And for about the fourth year in a row, while everyone else is freaking out about how cuh-RAAAAZY they are to take on such a thing, I'll finish up with about 10 days' worth of actual work.

I don’t mean in a “Patient Zero” kind of way, where one guy with tuberculosis or SARS or H1N1 spreads it to others. This isn’t a physical pathology. This is more of a mental thing.
