Jesus.. why do I do these things to myself?

Anyhow, in my ongoing attempts to ACTUALLY COMPLETE A PIECE OF WRITING, I'm going to try NaNoWriMo again this year, and I'm really working on it, I promise!  I have a <a href="http://makyo.drab-makyo.com/documents/nanowrimo.pdf">LaTeX shell</a> that I just need to fill in as I write (though I'll likely write in plain text and just copypasta everything into the shell later, since all the pretty colors of LaTeX are distracting :D), I just got back from the first Meet'n'Greet and I plan on going to as many Write-Ins ans I can (FoCoNaNo-ers are surprisingly like furries, I must say; whether this is good or bad is yet to be decided c.c), and I have an outline that I plan on actually following (last year, my characters got out of control and turned out to be just as boring as I am).  

As for the other projects, I'll likely pick Manifesto up again in December (snow is for spiritualism, I guess), and maybe I'll do the Tarot project over Christmas break, since school and work stole that out from under me pretty efficiently - I even have a volunteer who wants readings done.  The problem is I'm good at planning (the novel, Manifesto, and the Tarot project are all completed on paper) but I need to work on completing.  Oh well, that's my goal with this mess.
