I never know if I should do NanoWrimo or not. I've never finished it, I've only participated while in college, and every time I did, it was to work on Ghost Hunters, a story about a group of high school students at a boarding school for the gifted out in the middle of nowhere, and their English teacher/adviser.

1. Who's that good the first time around? The polish comes in editing. The important thing is just to hash it out. I'm crap at writing, but I'm very, very good at editing. I'm also very, very lazy. I think we see Megan's problem...

2. But does it have to be November? That's when you get the most support, surely, because everyone's doing it. It's also when you have 293849490 projects to finish and midterms and also a jaunt home to make turkey, probably while studying (oh my god! My essay's on fire! etc)

3. And anyway, who put writing month in *November*? It only has 30 days! Bother, why not just make it February?!

4. And that's why I'm aiming to go for it in January this year. I've never bothered to even try before--November has always been too busy to even consider a short story. It's right after Halloween, there are costumes to finish (there are cons in November and the beginning of January), and the JLPT at the very beginning of December, and a dress rehearsal to get ready for. It's a veritable nightmare.
