I don’t know what it is about November that makes it seem like such a crazy month. I suspect it’s a combination of NaNo, plus the fact that I’ve now worked two major tournaments this month. At the end of November, there’s another big one coming up, and it’s been this way for several years running.
As to NaNo, I don’t know why I bother. I suspect it’s because I’m too stubborn to quit. But quit I did last year at 12,000 words. I’d really like to finish this year as I have plans for this YA novel.
