NaNoWriMo season has snuck up on me this year, through every fault of my own. I decided not to do it, not because I don't enjoy it, but because I need to devote what little spare creative time I have this month to not completely deserting my poor webcomic, whose update schedule is already suffering due to school. This is my last semester - I'm graduating in December - and is therefore my last chance to end the college scene with as high a GPA as possible.
But I'm struggling. Not doing NaNo, that is. I keep wandering back to the forums and surfing around, feeling lost and left out, wondering if I really need to sleep at all this month, or if that was a silly goal from the beginning. I don't have a particular story that I want to work on, but I've got a larger-than-usual litter of plot bunnies invading my skull. I give the credit for this, in equal parts, to my webcomic (for keeping my muse amused) and my Spanish Lit class (for forcing me to focus on the concept of stories on a regular basis). I'm sure I could chase any one of those bunnies for quite a few thousand words before it would tire.
I definitely won't be making anything like 50,000 words this month. That would be madness on a scale I'm unwilling to devote myself to. But...I can't promise I won't write anything at all. NaNo is far too inspiring to ignore completely.
