I'm thinking about doing it but I know I am doomed to failure and despair.

I'm totally doing it because I only have 2 jobs this month (which will take me a total of about 12 hours probably) and I've always wanted to write a fucking novel.  I started writing notes and outlines earlier today.

The hardest part is going to be avoiding the internets and working on this novel.  But fortunately the house I'm living at doesn't have wireless so if I take my laptop into my bedroom I can totally do it, I think.

I've got some good ideas for erotica.  Let me know which themes you desire.

I have an idea I still like more than a week after I came up with it, which is rare.

I'm aiming for a kind of weird tone--the closest parallel out there would be There Are Doors by Gene Wolfe.

What a cigarillo, to sell out your aspirations to some wacky jappy boooolshit.

I myself will be ready to start writing about English Terry the Illegal Immigrant later tonight or probably tomorrow.  I have to walk dogs and go grocery shopping... but it's awesome now that the beaches aren't being used during the week, it's one big sandbox for dog shit.

I would love to do this, and as much as I need a creative outlet, I probably should.

But I am way too lazy.

Ok I think I have a good idea I put in a blender for a month and come out with something completely excreble.  What would you consider to be "novel sized" though?

NaNoWriMo defines it as 50k words (1667 / day)

I always think about doing it, but I never do.

I used to write so much, so often, and I haven't in such a long time. :(
