Asking: NaNo

[rsadelle]

Sooooo, I think I'm caving into peer pressure and doing NaNo this year. This means I have to try to finish writing my Leighton/Vicky-T story and editing my other novel this month. Eep! Anyway, the real reason for this post is that as I was chatting with someone who came back to yoga after a summer away, I realized I haven't taken a day off in the ten months I've been at my job. (I don't get any paid time off until after the first year.) I could conceivably take a couple of days off in November, so for those of you who've done NaNo before, when did you find you most wanted some uninterrupted time to write? Was it at the beginning when you were still excited about it? In the middle when you were starting to worry about it? At the end when you were panicking to finish? Or should I just take the whole week of Thanksgiving off? (Actually, if I were to do that, I would probably take off Tuesday and Wednesday of that week and Monday of the week after - that Monday is probably going to be extremely busy. And the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of taking the Wednesday before Thanksgiving off to cook. I could make two kinds of pie!)
