I guess my main point is that we shouldn't rush to conclusions.

What? The author is not faking his disease. When he made it public on twitter (an obvious mistake), there were a bunch of people asking him about his actual disease. He blocked these nerds from twitter because it's not their business.
According to the blogs that I read, he has pancreatic cancer. He probably consumed too much soft drinks or coffee. |

I'm a novel writer and I'm writing a 10 book series. So far I have written 1500 pages and counting. It's not that easy to write and if you change one part of the series, you have to revert all the way back and re-edit for consistency. It's been two years and I have been writing, altering, deleting, writing, altering, and deleting, so I can understand the delays.
Depending on how you write, it can be unhealthy. I was one of them. Spend most of the time in front of the computer, wikipedia for quick overviews, dozens of tabs on research like Jiraiya travelling around the world for inspiration and so forth. For three months I was writing between 25 to 40 pages a day. I slept for three or four hours. Most people can usually write only 2 pages within three hours for regular college papers...well from where I'm from at least. I sometimes skipped meals, drank 2-3 energy drinks a day, and chain smoked. A lot of writers chain smoke. Is that smart? No, but it helps me stay sane, write, and bring out my imagination. Writing can be unhealthy in which it blurs the line between reality and fantasy. Writers can adopt the personality of the character they're writing. Writing requires a lot of sitting and thinking. You have to make sure the plot makes sense, what the characters do or say have a purpose, and to make sure that it's something that the readers would like. There's the pressure of writing and editing by a certain deadline, especially if you're contracted. It's a very long process. Sorry, grammar isn't one of my gifts, but I'm still not giving up on writing. Hopefully the author fights his cancer. Other than writing, my profession deals with diagnosing cancer...and cancer sucks. |

The info I got from users are not 100% reliable because the author never really disclosed his disease, so he may not have cancer.
I went straight to the source (his tweets). I read his tweets from last year regarding his operation (graphic info) and it looked to me that he had gallstones, which can cause problems with the pancreas (pancreatitis). This tweet (from last year) summarizes his operation: http://twitter.com/#!/hirasakayomi/s...21019988307970 I think he's okay ever since. He just needs to watch his diet. |
