“I asked my mother why we couldn’t have books, and she said. ‘The trouble with books is that you never know what’s in it until it is too late.’ I thought to myself, ‘too late for what?’” -Jeanette Winterson, in Forbidden Fruits
Too late that what his mother has been telling him were all wrong.

It's NaNoWriMo time again. It's simple. Sign up and write 50,000 words in a month. I did it last year, but won't have time this year.
It's too frantic. I can't write at that pace. Although last year it did help me finish a novel. This year I'm writing a panto, doubt it will be 50K by the end of November though, even with a head start.
