A Roaring Start

REMINDER: TONIGHT. 6:30. SAN FRANCISCO. NOT YOUR MOTHER'S BOOK CLUB. ME. TALKING. ABOUT BOOKS.

Well, my NAFADOYBIMSCOM (NAtional Finish A Draft Of Your Book I Mean Seriously Come On Month) got off to a horrendous start yesterday, for the following very simple reason:

For about four hours, I was pretty sure that I had skin cancer, due to a long and complicated story involving a lot of borderline-idiotic behavior on the part of certain employees of my dermatologist. At any rate, it turns out that I am fine (I mean, for the moment), but there's nothing like spending a day contemplating your imminent demise to keep you from writing. Also I had to write a bunch of wedding thank-you notes, and I honestly believe that the wedding thank-you note is the most creatively demanding of all literary disciplines.

Anyway, assuming I don't get cancer tomorrow, it should be a little more productive. I have like a six hour flight to San Francisco; hopefully I'll get some writing done soon. I hope your first day of NAFADOYBIMSCOM went better, provided you are participating, and if you aren't participating, I think you should.
