I’ve signed up for NaNoWriMo.

I know. I don’t believe it either. It’s not as if I have any writing projects on the go that ‘already’ need my attention. And I certainly don’t need to practice writing articles for anything remotely important… like my job.

That aside, I am simply tempted beyond belief and cannot help myself. I keep seeing overwhelming amounts of people who are so crazy and enthusiastic over the whole thing and I want to be a part of it!

I’ve already gone and created my account, so I certainly can’t back out of it now. But now that I have made the decision to go through with it, I find myself at a loss.

Should I start a brand new story solely for the sake of NaNoWriMo? It seems counter productive when I already have two that are in dire need of my attention and have only just begun writing on them again with any degree of regularity.
Should I write part 2 of one I have already begun? Do I have the ability to not stress over plot and just write for a month without giving in to the need to go back and edit and tweak? I’m not sure, I’m relatively fond of those characters, if they got themselves into any trouble because of me it would be a devastating blow.

Life choices. Such difficult things aren’t they?

However I decide, I’m in for a very interesting month, and I’m looking forward to the challenge. A giant kick in the butt and many sleepless nights might be exactly what I need.

… I just hope my husband can forgive me for ignoring him for 30 days..

P.S. If you have joined NaNoWriMo – Make the effort to read the e-mail they send out. If it doesn’t make you smile at least once then you have a terrible sense of humour and should be utterly disappointed in yourself.
