1. I definitely will! Is it crazy that I wish the earthquake had been a little more... earthshaking? I'm a terrible person. >_<

2. Gah. I guess that's true. The novel I finished during prep was actually a NaNo project once upon a time. Even if I don't finish this one, I can set a new goal.

3. That said, though, you're totally right. I need to work wholeheartedly toward the goal. If I don't win, it's no big deal, but I won't give up until the very last minute. Thanks for the encouragement! A couple times this month, I managed over 7,000 in a day, but those were in the first days. Still, I'll see if I can crank out a few thousand words every night for the next few nights!
