All right, my dears, we're almost to NaNoWriMo take off. Who's playing? What are your ideas? Have you ever tried it before, and ever won?

I'm not because November is an absolutely hideous month to try something of that magnitude.

I won't call this year a "failure" as far as my writing goes, but I didn't get nearly as much accomplished as I wanted, so next year I have a new plan. I'm going to scribble the first draft of a short story at a NaNo pace at the beginning of each month, and then write a thousand words a day in a novel while editing the short.

This will keep my hand in the short markets while giving me something actually solid to try to hang an actual career on. At the end of June, I'll evaluate the process and see where I am.

Good luck to everyone doing NaNo this year. This icon is just for you!

If it makes you feel any better, I always feel a bit inadequate when you report all the stories you've submitted. :p Definitely doesn't look like a failure from where I'm sitting.
