I just spent the last hour or two putting together an audiocast.

I played it back, and decided I hated it.

So I re-recorded it.

I decided I hated *that* one, too.

Why? Because what I was talking about was, essentially, how to quit NaNoWriMo. How to drop out spectacularly, without even trying to reach 50k.

Here we are, on November 1st, 2010.

Yes, it’s the very first day of National Novel Writing Month.  Yay, NaNoWriMo!  I can hear the keyboards clacking wildly around the world.

So far, I have penned a blindingly brilliant 89 words. Yes, you read that right. Eight.Nine.

Impressed much? Me too!

Ok, so I’m having a rough start, and part of the reason for the rough start means it’s  going to be tough to write this weeks planned Circus posts, too.

(This is the first in an experimental tradition of posting whatever-the-hell I feel like on the weekends. For more info on that, see this. Now, carry on please!)

You know what NaNoWriMo is, right?

National Novel Writing Month.  Each November, a gazillion and twelve idiots promise that they will write a novel.  In 30 days.

I know. It’s nuts. If you take on this task, you’ll be moody, cranky, frustrated, and bi-polar throughout November. Your head will hurt, your eyes will burn, and you’ll need an industrial size bottle of Febreze because you’ll forget to shower.

Yeah. I know.

I’m doing it again, too.
