I've decided to de-stress by NOT attempting to do NaNoWriMo! I've tried for three years to do it, and it's always a demoralizing disaster. I have Seasonal Affective Disorder and ADD and both have gotten much worse now that I'm post-menopausal (guess those hormones were good for something). That means November is getting to be a hard time for me to function even without a major writing project. Throw in a new job at the local library and Thanksgiving prep and trying to write an entire first draft of a novel just seems like insanity. So that's it. I am resigning from NaNoWriMo and never, ever trying this again. Until next year anyway....
