  • 20:59 @redtoffee I like the Snowflake method. Not planning on "planning" for nano; just writing. I'm "unofficial" anyway. 15 mins every day for 30 #

A Case of Chronic Denial - OpEd by Hillary Johnson - NYTimes.com

EARLIER this month, a study published in the journal Science answered a question that medical scientists had been asking since 2006, when they learned of a novel virus found in prostate tumors called xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus, or XMRV: Was it a human infection?
Here's an excellent overview of the new research into Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and its controversial history from one of the best and earliest reporters on the illness. The most interesting idea for me, and one I haven't seen reported elsewhere in my reading, is the new proposed name: X-associated neuroimmune disease or XAND. At first glance this seems entirely appropriate, even given that there's no proof that XMRV causes the illness, because it's X-"associated".

]]> NaNoWriMo Links tag:vox.com,2009-10-21:asset-6a00c2252589a1f2190123ddb1f58b860b 2009-10-21T11:02:45Z 2009-10-21T11:52:18Z Carissa Thorp http://carissathorp.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom-full

I'd love to be able to do NaNoWriMo, but it's a bit beyond me. Every year I think about giving it a go, even if in an "unofficial" capacity; just trying to write every day, no matter the word count I get. Maybe this year. . .

Anyway, here's some NaNoWriMo related links I've found.
