I know I said I was going to do NaNoWriMo this year, and I did get 3600 words into the novel, but I’m bailing. It’s not because I couldn’t make time to finish it — I could. It’s not because I had any doubt that I’d actually be able to finish it — last year taught me that I can, and fairly easily, too. It’s purely because I’m getting burned out and need to pull back. (Yes, this is a recurrent theme in my life. ~sigh~) (Yes, I sigh a lot. :P)

Anyway, I’m thinking I’ll take the idea I had for this novel and turn it into a short story instead. And in the meantime I need to get cracking to get this next issue of the magazine out the door.
