Call Me a Dreamer

Have you ever tried NaNoWriMo? The very idea scares me. I think I would be setting myself up for failure. Some people might be able to look at the quarter of a novel they finished during the month and say, "So what if I didn't finish it, at least I've got this much!" But, for me, setting a goal that I see as unrealistic for me would create all sorts of tangled knots more likely to hurt my writing than help it.
