To NaNoWriMo or Not to NaNoWriMo?

I'm still on the fence about participating in NaNoWriMo this year and the damn thing starts tomorrow (I am such a procrastinator). Yesterday, I was quite sure I wouldn't be participating. But Steve just emailed me that he signed up and that reminds me of what a slacker I am about the whole thing.

There has always been this strong attraction to writing for me. I jot down these little ideas all the time, but they really go nowhere. Or if I do start them, then end up as incomplete garbage (4S anyone?). I never finished the story from last year either.

However, I've been thinking that maybe I could do a scaled back version. I do have unused time at lunch to write. That worked very well last year -- in fact, most of the writing I did was at work. If I cut the target number by a third, say 33K instead of 50K, that might be reachable.

I still have no idea what to write. But if I do, it'll be 33K of total trash...
