I quit
As much as I love NaNoWriMo, in theory, I just. No.
It’s not that the story isn’t there to be written, it is. NaNoWriMo just ends up making me feel crap because I fall behind, inevitably, often because I have things to do. A mother and sister to look after. Christmas things to make, and honestly I’d like to go to bed this Christmas Eve rather than stay up till four am stabbing my fingers to finish gifts. It’s not as though I don’t write all year, because I do. I write fics and stories and poems and ridiculous little drabbles.
I just… ugh.

Not being a writer, I’m not participating in NaMoWriMo. HOWEVER, being older than your Mom and NOT requiring you to care for me … and having strong Jewish Mother genes … I’m going to share a bit of what I’ve learned over the years. No charge. And – no guilt/nagging if you don’t act on it
Life always happens. It’s okay to take up a challenge and fail at it. It’s okay, but IMNHO not quite as good,to take up a challenge and quit.
Now, for the ultimate lesson in how to live life, I refer you to this video. Frank Sinatra. My Way. Enjoy!

Aww, Fern. You commented!
At the moment I’m, I think, ten thousand words behind, and This was my fourth year and try as I might, it just… doesn’t work.
I love that song, too, but since my friend had it at her funeral… sadness.
