The answer to that is, very.

I think for this year, I’m officially giving up on getting my NaNoWriMo novel done.

I’m stuck at 9000 words, and I need to be closer to 20000 to have any chance of finishing it on time.  Heaven only knows that I may finish it on time, but the likelihood of that happening is, oh, slim to none on both a realistic and statistical level.

Not that this is a bad thing. It’s got me writing again, which definitely is a good thing. It’s got the creative juices flowing again, yet another good thing.

But I’m not going to kill myself creatively just to meet a target right now. There are more important things to deal with in life. Like my upcoming trip. I don’t want to be burnt out to travel, and I know that going someplace new will have a positive creative effect on me, so I want the brain to not be fried.

To my fellow NaNoWriMo buddies – keep on – I may have dropped out of the race, but you can do it!

Autumn is here again, and with it has come NaNoWriMo. Right now, I’m just behind the curve as to what I need to write daily, so there will be word sprints later on in my day. Maybe I’ll actually finish this NaNovel and make it two out of four that I’ve actually managed to have finished in the month.
