I got an email from the New York Municipal Liaison for NaNoWriMo yesterday. I still haven't decided if I'm going to be a WriMo this year, but the prospect of the write-ins and get-togethers (without being the one to plan them) is exciting.

They're definitely more organized than I ever was when I was the Calgary ML. If I go back, and if I'm ever Calgary's ML again, I'll have to take pointers.

Yes, I reactivated my NaNo account, and I added NYC to my list of "local" forums, just in case.

Bah. I start a class on Nov 1, as well, so I just don't know. We'll see. I guess there's no harm in trying. The problem is that I've said that for the past 3 years now. I only completed my novel in '02. 2003 and 2004 were "attempt" years for me, and I'd really like to finish it again. I know that there's no shame in trying, but I kinda (really) want to succeed.

Ah well. I don't need to decide yet, right? I've been staying away from the forums until I decide, because at least that way, my little status bar won't be out there, empty, for everyone to see. Plus, I know how easy it is to procrastinate on the forums, and I keep telling myself that if I don't go on, I won't get hooked, and thus I'll have more time to actually write.

Heh. I'm ever the optimist, aren't I?!
