50 000 words?, Can you make it? Options

What do you reckon?

I reckon that ordinarily, I could do it okay. But seeing as this year's my GCSE year, I've got to put more effort into that, and will have less time to do it. Although, I did find out today that I have a handy day off on the 28th November... my instant thought was "ooh, I can do a day's writing!" XD

But anyways. I don't know if I will be able to do it, considering those circumstances, so although I am ultimately aiming and hoping to reach the 50, I'd still be damned proud if I reached 30 or 40.

I got into quite a groove this spring and wrote 3000 words a day without an enormous effort. That was maybe two hours of writing a day. The hardest part of that writing was research. (I was writing lecture scripts for a new course I was teaching, so I had to research everything I wrote.) The second hardest part was figuring out how each lecture would break down. And I kept up that pace for four months with only a week's holiday!

Right now, my biggest difficulty for NaNoWriMo is figuring out what to write. My mind keeps saying historical novel, my heart keeps saying fanfic and there's this little voice in the background reminding me that I've always wanted to write a mystery novel involving online multiplayer worlds. . . . Decisions, decisions, decisions!

But, if I fail there will be no catsup for me. If I've got to eat crow, I'm going to cook it nicely and serve it with some wine, thank you very much!
