Official thoughts on Nanowrimo at this juncture: let's call the whole thing off.
I may try to do a Nano-esque stint at some other time, because I'm dying to give this novel focused, undivided attention ... and that's precisely what I can't do right now without putting too much on hold. Scylla and Charybdis needs its final polish; I have online gaming obligations; I still have an unfinished short story; for that matter I have an entire unedited second novel (Who Wants To Be A Hero?) that desperately needs my eye - I finished it March or so of this year!; and there's a ton of house reconfiguring left to do.
I am fairly sure there was an excess of punctuation in that last sentence.
About Me
- Lindsey Duncan
- I'm a professional harp performer, chef / pastry chef, and speculative fiction writer from Cincinnati, Ohio. My contemporary fantasy novel Flow is available from Double Dragon Publishing, and my science fiction novel Scylla and Charybdis is now out from Grimbold Books. I've also sold a number of short stories and a few pieces of speculative poetry. I write predominantly fantasy, usually epic and/or humorous, with some soft science fiction. I play the traditional lever harp with a specialty in Celtic music - but I also perform modern and Renaissance tunes. And yes, you read that right - I have a diploma in Baking and Pastry and an Associates in Culinary Arts and am currently working in the catering field at Kate's Catering and Personal Chef Services (Dayton, KY). I am a CPC (Certified Pastry Culinarian) and CSW (Certified Specialist of Wine).

Wow, you've got a full plate. You know what's best for you and the goals already in place. There's nothing wrong with dropping out of NaNo. I've been following this challenging exercise for two years and haven't entered, mainly because of stuff on my plate. Just don't have the time. Good luck with all that you've got to do!
I miss the days when contemplating Nano was more realistic. Devoting that fixed attention is a rush ... possibly because I do it so infrequently. Ah, well!
Thanks, and good luck with your projects, too.
