Spent the day trying to decide which project/s to work on for WriMo. I have a novel I started for NaNoWriMo two years ago, then a week into November, life turned upside down and I never got back to it. I decided to continue with it last year, then half way through November my sister-in-law was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer so I dropped the novel to be with my brother and his family.

As the last project seems completely jinxed, I feel like I need to choose a fresh tale to start. I have a couple in the planning stages. Just can't decide which. Not a lot of days left to decide either.

My hope is that doing NaNoWriMo will get me back into writing and focused on doing it every day. It's a habit that needs to be fed with me.

Good luck everyone!
