National No Novel Writing Month

How about a NaNoNoWriMo? National No Novel Writing Month? If you think about it, November is one of the most insane months to be thinking novel anyway, which I guess is the point, if you can survive writing a novel in November then you can do it at any time - but I think that it was more a matter of November being the month with N-o-v-e in it, which made the month just too awww cute to pass up as Novel writing month.

Think about what else there is to be done in this month, though. For most people we have Thanksgiving, school and getting ready for Christmas.

My month includes...

A writing course I can't work on at the moment
Thanksgiving - which I pretty much blew off this year
Getting shopping in for Christmas
National Family Caregiver Month
National Alzheimer's Awareness Month

And then there is my normal work schedule.

Who has time to write 50,000 words that are just throwaway junk words? I would rather write 500 keepers than 50,000 junk words. So, instead of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) I am celebrating National No Novel Writing Month (NaNoNoWriMo). Anyone else with me on this?
