Nano Nothing

I so rarely admit defeat. I tend to not take on challenges unless I know I'm going to finish them. However, this year, Nanowrimo has gotten the best of me. I'm not going to finish. I know there is still a week and a half left, but there's a canyon between 13,000 words and 50,000 words. And while writing those 13,000 words has been great fun--and I plan on continuing to write--there's just too much going on. The Doodlebug obviously takes up most of my time and what few waking coherent (okay, semi-coherent) hours I have left, I need to spend on my freelancing work. But I'll still finish a novel in the next year. Mark my words. That's one challegne I'll meet.
