In Which NaNoWriMo Punches Me in the Face
Running score is now NaNoWriMo: 2, Aaron: 0.
I have this false belief that I work better under pressure. The theory here was that the write-every-day requirements of NaNoWriMo would force me to light a fire under my behind and finish the three (3!) projects I've got simmering on the back burner, turn them in to some publisher somewhere, then sit back and wait for the wealth and fame to roll in.
Instead, of course, I started a fourth (4!!) project, which I then set aside because of pressing duties like grading papers, doing book reviews, raising my kids, cleaning my house, bathing, making a sandwich, mowing the lawn, watching election returns, post-Halloween organization, pre-Holidays organization, laundry, making another sandwich, taking another bath, and making another sandwich. Also, the coffee was too cold and I had to freshen it up. Apparently every 15 minutes, for a month.
I am a fountain of excuses.
