NaNoWriMo: Day 26

Happy Thanksgiving! I have a lot to be thankful for, not the least of which is that an item on my personal big goals to-do list got checked off yesterday: I wrote a piece for NPR. In the middle of NaNoWriMo. And some other chaos related to horrendously-leaking roofs and other stuff.

My point is, you can write under just about any conditions, any personal situation. Every year, the NaNoWriMo Web site features stories about people who pull off a 50,000 word count in spite of being deployed in war zones, moving house, and having babies (I can't remember that woman's name, but anyone who blast throught the last couple thousand words of NaNoWriMo in the middle of labor has my respect.)

If they can do it, so can you. So, no slacking today -- sit yourself down to really good food with friends and family, but make sure you sit yourself down for some writing, too.
