It's easy to say that there is no excuse to not write if you've never had anything traumatic happen during October or November. Being on a busy schedule is one thing. Having something unexpected throwing a wrench into things is another.
For the past eight years, I have participated in Nanowrimo through university exams, school work, grad school applications, physically demanding lab experiments, and sleep deprivation. But the thing is--all of this was planned; the schedule was already known ahead of time.
Two days ago, something unforeseen happened. I am shocked and sad--but also worried about the emotional well-being of the rest of my family. It also means that I will be out of town for most of next week and for the first time in my Nanowrimo-ing career, I am unsure if I will have any time during those days to write.
I am sorry if you can't write! I love your work. This year has been super crappy for me. My dad and my dog died...I'm going to struggle to get my words in this year. Good luck!
