NaNo or Not NaNo?

I have a decision to make over the next 10 days: Do I want to participate in NaNoWriMo this year?

I signed up to do it last year, but I got quite behind on my word-count (need to total 50,000 words over the month of November). So I ended up abandoning the effort early.

I would like to write a novel.

I really would.

Or perhaps, I would like to have written a novel. (That's closer to the truth!)

This year, if I start NaNoWriMo, I want to finish NaNoWriMo.

To do:

1. Determine idea for novel by October 31st.
2. If did #1, then sign up for NaNoWriMo.
3. If did #2, then write, write,WRITE!!!
