I said I wouldn’t do NaNoWriMo this year. I wanted to do it last year, but was burned out from finishing the first draft of Meet the Larssons in October. This year, I’m too busy at work, and the Siren has been called for grand jury duty in November which will turn everything upside down here at home. But I need a kick start for my writing, and I have what I think is the perfect idea for a NaNoWriMo novel.
So I’m making a half-assed commitment to make a half-assed effort at NaNoWriMo, with a goal of writing 25,000 words (instead of 50,000) of a new novel in the month of November. That would require less than a thousand words a day, but will be a respectable start to the new project.
If you’re doing NaNoWriMo this year and care join me in my half-assed attempt, add me as a writing buddy on the NaNo website. My user name is the same as it is here, Unfocused Me, and my author ID number is 261488. You can also just click here to add me.

Thanks, you too.
Good luck.
I tried aiming for 25,000 one year, but before Nov 1 was so cocky that I was going for the full 50,000 and ended up not even reach 10,000…
Thanks. I’m not feeling particularly cocky going into it at this point, so at least I’m not heading for a karmic smackdown.
