hello, norovirus

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2003.05.20

Well, I had some fun on the weekend. I was visited by our friend the Norwalk virus. This is at least the second time I've had it in my life. The last time was ten years ago. I could happily keep that pace up as a minimal frequency.

Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there.

—Anton Chekhov
