I've been dithering for about two weeks now whether to do NaNo or not. I've never formally done it before because I tend to be one of those people who's got my own writing schedule regardless and that'll continue. At the same time, I'm at a really nice point where WIP #1 is on betas and WIP #2 is basically not started so it's a good time dive in and do the 50K.
Mind you, WIP #2 has very little in the way of functioning plot at present. That can be dealt with.
The dithering is because I also have a pretty major game dev goal for November and if that takes off I doubt I'll get as much writing done as I want. I always intend to balance game dev and writing, and I always have these wonderfully complex time management schedules worked out so I don't overdo it on either. Then I never stick to them.
If I get going on either one, getting 50K is not going to be a problem for me and nor would finishing an iteration of this game. So: anyone want to vote?
Game is about a magic student, his pet rock, their expulsion from school and ensuing life choices in a world of quasi-legal mushroom smuggling. It is almost insufferably twee.
Book is basically about Death. WIP #2 is about pretending to be but not actually being dead. WIP #2, in fact, has an alternate WIP, which we'll call 2A, that is about being dead but pretending not to be.
Or I could attempt to both and just not sleep for a month.
