When all else fails, abandon hope completely. Somebody completely forgettable once told me “If at first you don’t succeed, try again: then quit.” I love NaNoWriMo: I think it is an awesome idea, and fun and exciting for writers of all walks.

And then [...]
Also tagged etc.I sometimes wonder if I have some sort of pathological compulsion to verb-ify nouns (I think I just did it again). Bandwagonning: to jump onto a bandwagon of some sort.
