At the beginning of the year, I said I wouldn't.

Backtrack...I got a novel idea back in late December/early January.

I've been playing with it since then. I have a very brief outline of several chapters. Some character sketches. Some flash fictions of scenes I don't see being in the novel (at least not all of them/in full), but they do have an impact on character development.

And, so all this talk of NaNoWriMo got me to log into my account, consider it, and...

I've decided I'm going to try it again this year.

My last time was in '07. I completed the 50,000 words in 30 days and came out of November feeling like I'd spent the month in a constant 'tween state. I might have stumbled upon Tír na nÓg or Brigadoon for all I remember of November '07.

...And I'm going to do this again?

I think I've officially lapsed in sanity.

Maybe this year will involve an actual fugue state?
