Report on November:
I can't do NaNo. This is the third year I've let people talk me into it, and it's the third year I've failed miserably. All told, I wrote just under 15,000 words. Not only is that not great in terms of NaNo, I think it's less than I would write with my usual goals. It's not even that I can't write 50,000 words in a month. It's that I can't deal with having that kind of imposed goal.
I have to admit that, having finished my two large projects, I'm a little lost on this month's goals.
