NaNoWriMo: Bah humbug

[a_t_rain]

AAARRGHH, why does NaNoWriMo have to be in November? That's pretty much an impossible month for students and academics. Also, why do I suddenly have a spanking first line in my head now*, when I most assuredly don't have the time to do anything with it?

Oh well. Good luck to everyone on the f-list who's buckling down and making the attempt. I don't think I ever will.

* For the curious: Jonathan first realized they were different from other children on the day they went to see the woolly mammoth calf at the zoo. And yes, I do have a plot to go with it, sort of.

I always say the same thing! Every year I want to do NaNo, and every year I end up covered in papers and exams and it's absolutely impossible to write 50000 words of anything, let alone something that's not garbage.

Who came up with the date, anyway? Why not April? April's quiet!

Heh, I think April may be the only month worse than November for those of us on the US academic calendar. Can't please everybody, I guess :)
