Oh dear. Here we go again.
Today I signed up for National Novel Writing Month for 2009. I, who am supposed to be writing my thesis, in addition to work and dance practice. True, I’ve written quite a bit lately and really want to write whenever I’m not in front of my computer, but still. I had resolved NOT to participate due to lack of time and opportunity – after all I really need to focus on my thesis – and there it goes out the window.
I have participated twice before, though I never won. I think I gave up only one week into November. Though at that time I was suffering from depression and gave up on everything. That’s how it felt, anyway. This year I just couldn’t keep away, despite my better judgement. To my advantage is the fact that I am super-motivated. I can probably write for at least an hour each day, and then all day on weekends. I probably won’t win (write at least 50 000 words before November is through) but I might actually come close this year. I am resolved to get at least 20 000 words this year before I even think of giving up. Although I of course don’t plan to give up at all. We’ll see!
Anyone else doing NaNoWriMo this year?
