Last night I went to bed convinced that I’d skip NaNo this year — with no new ideas and 4 (maybe 5? I’ve lost count) unfinished WIPs, it seemed pointless to start a new one.

But I woke up this morning with a plan: use NaNoWriMo as the prod to get me to work on one of those unfinished WIPs.

So here I am, with laundry in the machine downstairs and a frightening mess of a draft open on my computer for revision, officially announcing that I am participating in my 12th NaNoWriMo. Unlike previous years, I’ve done no pre-cooking or cleaning to prep for this month of madness, and I’ll be traveling during the last week of November (plus there’s Witch Week on now), so my normal crazed and glassy-eyed look will be just that much more magnified.

Enough procrastinating. Time to get back to work.
