NaNo Hell

So I'm writing NaNo, as I do.  It's really a lot.  Really fucking extra.  What happens is that I write a lot because I have to and still feel like I'm not doing enough.  I complain about how much work it is, and then those around me guilt me for not taking it on the chin -- after all, I did sign up for it.  The experience overall does help one grow as a writer.  It's valuable and sometimes a very good project comes out of it... or at least the first draft for something that could become good.  However, it's still hell.  It's still a lot of work and a lot mental energy gets expended.  And I'll complain about it.  I'm sure I'm annoying... but there we are.  That's what I do.
