This is the first time in five years that I haven't won NaNoWriMo by Thanksgiving.  And it's a late Thanksgiving yet!  Eeep!

But if my little calendar is correct, I have been consistently writing sufficient words on Thursdays and Fridays, though not on any other day of the week.  Interesting.  I'd better make sure that holds true this week.
