NaNoWriMo – Fail

You may have noticed that my NaNoWriMo counts have stopped increasing.  This is due to a few reasons, all of which happened at roughly the same time.

• I write on the computers at work and at home.  I transfer back and forth using email.  I spent a day writing to a file that I had emailed home from work.  Unfortunately, it was in the temp folder from when I opened it from my email client.  Net result – a full weekend day’s work lost.
• My family has been sick.  Not convieniently all at once.  One person recovers just as the next gets sick.  That has left me with no time for writing.

The net result is that this year’s attempt at NaNoWriMo has been aborted.  I will continue to work on my novel, but will now work on quality rather than quantity, and be able to make a presentable work rather than a word-count-padded one.
