It is technically now November here as it is 2.30am, but I haven't been to bed yet so I'm regarding it as Saturday still.

I wanted to make a quick post to say that I'm not taking part in NaNoWriMo this year, as the demands on my time are too numerous and I don't want to be struggling and feeling guilty about it. My first priority is my degree and then after that is this group, so a novel will not really fit.

Although I'm disappointed, at the same time I'm relieved because at the back of my mind had been a worry that I would flounder and focus too much on my NaNovel and let my university work suffer. Our terms are very short, I only have another five weeks of this one so I would miss a lot of work by shifting my priorities for the duration of the month.

Now it is time for bed, after a fairly disasterous Halloween with a friend getting stupidly drunk, throwing up in the taxi and costing me a fortune, and then taking about an hour to get into my room and into bed (and the assistance of another friend who is an angel sent from Heaven to come to my rescue twice today).
