Let's just stop a minute here and look at my November.

• I'm working full-time in-house on a couple different projects, and will be for at least the next couple of weeks. One project had me in the office on Saturday.
  
• I have two other outside freelance editing jobs to do.
  
• I'm in a show that goes up the weekend before Thanksgiving, for which, among other things, I need to buy or make some costume pieces. (And for which I have rehearsals twice a week, until production week when it'll be basically every night.)
  
• I have handbell rehearsal every week.
  
• I'm playing piano for rehearsals for another show once a week.
  
• The last Legends event of the season is this coming weekend, and I have some things I need to do before then.
  
• My mother's visiting around Thanksgiving.
  
• I desperately need to get back to the gym.
  
• Oh, yeah, and I'm getting sick. I've been coughing since yesterday, and my voice is a mess.
  

And I thought I was going to write 1700 words a day of a novel on top of this? What was I thinking?? It's true that, as my mother once said, multitasking and I have always been synonymous, but even I have limits.

I still think Finding Danny is a good idea for a story, but I'm not at all convinced it's going to get written this month. *sigh*

I don't think I'm just being my lazy, depressive self with this. I'm looking at my upcoming weeks and wondering how I'm going to get done everything I need to do, never mind adding NaNoWriMo to the mix.

Any advice?
