The annual question comes up: Will I participate in NaNoWriMo 2014?
On the pro side: I’ve completed the challenge for the past
three years.
On the con side: I’ve yet to get any of those novels to a
state of completion, though last year’s entrant, DOLEFUL CREATURES, is now with
beta readers.
On the con side: I’m great at starting things. Not so great
at finishing them.
I want to finish something.
There’s good stuff in them thar novels. I’m sure of it. I’ve
read enough good novels to know there’s good in what I’ve written. But I have a
difficult time separating the wheat from the chaff, and I’m not sure harvesting
another field while the crop lays ready to the stooked into stacks in a few
others is a good thing to do.
The good thing is if I finish a novel, I’ll likely moan less
on this blog about not being able to finish things. Of course, that’ll be
replaced with crowing about the completed novel, but a change is as good as a
rest, you know?
Meanwhile, here's a fat smurf. What this has to do with the question at hand, I do not know.
