I'd been debating actually doing NaNoWriMo this year but not only did I decide not to, I also decided not to do MiniNaNo, either. I decided that instead of writing this month, I want to be off the computer by 8:00 in the evening (weekdays, anyway) unless I'm listening to music or watching movies. My Netflix list is backed up, and I haven't done any cross stitch and very little crochet in a year. I have a stack of unread magazines and I want to read a few more books before school starts in January. I need to do a bunch of mending! I have buttons missing and seams that need stitching and I always forget about them until I want to wear whatever garment needs the work and then I don't have time to make the repair. I also have a couple more things to do before orientation in December. So instead of writing in my spare time this month, I intend to do all those other things I used to do before I started spending all evening, every evening, on the computer. I miss needlework! Though not mending . . . can't really blame that one on computer time. Next year, though - well, probably not NaNoWriMo, since I'll still be in school - but I'll likely be back to MiniNaNo. And I might do some writing this month, I'm just not committing to a word count.
