I really want to try NaNoWriMo this year, but the more I think about it, the more I think I don't have the time. Which is sort of ridiculous, since I never go out after I get home from work, but after sitting in front of a computer for 8.5 hours a day I really don't have the energy to crank out 1666 words, daily quota if you want to make the 50 000 word mark.
I may just try to write something every day and not officially participate this year. I started a fic and I'd rather not put it off for a month just so I can write something else. It'll be a good experiment I think. Will my fic take off if I'm constantly plonking away at it or will I end up writing crap because I have to write something? I remember the student paper at the university had an article about NaNoWriMo and writing an average of 1666 words per day. The guy found he started to write completely useless stuff just so he could make quota. I guess that's the challenge a NaNoWriMo writer faces. Quality vs quantity.
If only I didn't share an office with two other people. I could happily write away during work hours. :-D
