On the other hand, one of my other goads toward NaNo (as a partner in creative pain) is off at college this year, which makes my familial obligation to set a good writerly example that much weaker.
And, yeah, I know, I go through something like this every year, angsting over motivation and time and all that. So I should probably not let myself get too discouraged. But … yeesh, taking on one more thing right now just feels like one more thing too many.

I'm probably going to do it because my wife will be doing it for the first time this year.

So immediately after writing this (and taking a walk), I had an epiphany of something I might write.
That doesn't change all the other factors, but it's not for nothing.
