I have never been good at NaNoWriMo. I've tried a bunch of times and it simply hasn't really worked out. I did rebel in 2015 and counted editing instead of drafting, and succeeded at doing a major, major revision of Witchmark, getting it from 53,000 words to 72,000 words in the process. But drafting? oh no, never.

And I have a good reason to not even try this year, as I am going to have major surgery in a week and then I will be recovering, so there's no way I could reasonably expect to even try.

I keep telling myself that. and I keep on feeling like i'm pretending to be too cool for school because I know deep inside I can't hack it.

Which is crap and i know it, but still.

But I still feel like i should be setting some kind of goal. So okay, fine.

I'm going to read.

I'm hoping that I will read two novels in November. I've had a hard time staying focused on reading for a while, but I did fly through Tread of Angels in a couple days. So let's see what I get up to reading while I'm recovering.

Have you decided to do something in November, or does that way lie madness for you too?
