| I have such a poor success rate that I had considered totally forsaking it this year.
However...I have absolutely nothing going on to prevent me from participating. This is the first time in six years that I'm not in school or going through a church plant or doing full-time ministry. I have my little 9-5 job and that's it. I also have time during the day in which I can sneak a little in.
So...I probably will. I haven't thought about a potential story yet.

I'm going to make it 2/8 this year. I may even write a second novel to make up for last year...or at least fail to finish one to make up for last year.

| I recently started a novella, and I suppose I will use NaNoWriMo to finish it. I know that goes against the spirit of the thing, but I don't think anyone is chomping at the bit to read about a vigilante former superhero turned working-class nobody tazing a corrupt cop in the junk, either.
