Remember, remember, to write in November
November approaches, and once again I shall be taking part in NaBloWriMo: one public post of substance each day of the month. This will be my third year in a row; it's already become such a part of my annual routine that I can't imagine not doing it.
I've decided not to "sign up" this year, though. I didn't feel like I got much out of joining the community last year -- I don't need the possibility of a prize to motivate me, I prefer the focus to be on writing rather than posting, and the fact that they now sponsor a blogging challenge every month really doesn't work for me. So I'm striking out on my own, although if anyone wants to join me, I'd be happy to have you! I do know of at least five people on my flist who are doing NaNoWriMo; all I can do there is hang back in awe, and of course cheer you on.
As always, I fully intend to spend a good chunk of the month working on short fic. Unlike previous years, however, I'm not planning on a call for prompts -- I've just barely made a dent in my last prompt post, which was the Out of the Comfort Zone Meme, so I'm going to head back to those, see if I can make some headway. (If you missed it before, or didn't have any ideas then but do now, and would like to add a request, feel free!) I have vague thoughts of Paine stories for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
30_fantasies, too. If I could post at least one story a week, that would be fantastic. We'll see.

I am writing to you from CRAZYLAND, where the logical part of my brain put the manic part that suggested it would be totally possible for me to do NaNoWriMo and NaBloWriMo at the same time, considering that it's November and I work IN A RETAIL STORE and I'm also planning EPIC COMMENT THREAD PROJECT and and and
You get the picture.
Please advise as soon as possible before I convince myself it is the best idea I have ever had and run with it only to possibly fail on November 14th, therefore slowing your own progress because you have to comfort me.
HELP,
Renay

Dear Nay,
Tempting as I know it is, if you try to take on tons of projects, your chances of completing any of them diminish drastically. As you know, since the very idea of taking several projects on sent you off to Crazyland. Best to pick one significant goal and stick with it; if you make progress on other projects, that's gravy. Tasty, tasty gravy.
Be strong! I know you can.
Best wishes!
KJ
