We all have things we *should* be doing, but are ignoring in favor of NaNo. What responsibilities are you blatantly disregarding this month?
Me, right now, should really be doing laundry so I have clean clothes to wear to work this week; really, if I could just stay at home and NaNo, this wouldn't be a problem, would it?
Also, my kitchen is a mess. And whose bright idea was it to let me go grocery shopping during NaNo? I came home with no actual food...

I OUGHT to be putting my documentary together but you know how things go. Here I am, writing a novel!
Writing dialogue for a small movie for homework? Nope, gotta write a book. I AM trying to put two things together but it's just not happening. Ugh.
Finally, there's all those other homeworklings which need to be done but I say BEGONE foul beast for they are just suckers.
Ugh, Nano, why you hate me so? At least I am doing really well on my writing, right guys?!

Anyway, in favor of NaNo, I am ignoring an AP Bio project and my academic team's unofficial Jeopardy watching session. =P

Maybe not responsibilities, per se, but I do find myself having a harder time studying for school and such.
I have more of a hard time doing some of the things that I enjoy, other than writing. The other night I didn't get the chance to write at all and felt guilty because I went to a hockey game instead.
It's quite hard to fit it all in, huh?

I should clean the cat litter box, which I should have done last week. I'd better tomorrow, or the cats will rebel.
I should also do my reading for class tomorrow. Need to be extra prepared because I skipped class last week due to NaNoWriMo. Oops.
Maybe I can do those things in the morning before class. Until then, back to my story.

Get out of my head! *laugh* Seriously, I should be doing my schoolwork right this very moment, but I just HAD to check the forums. I'm already behind because all week when I should have been doing my schoolwork (or my work, or writing for my RPG or speding time with, you know, my kid...) I've been either writing or checking the forums. And I'm checking the forums waaaay too much, hence my low low word count.
*slinks off to do schoolwork*

----------- Practicing the music I will be performing at my junior recital in 28 days. 0_0 This includes memorizing all the lyrics before my audition, which is also on the 16th. Another bad call.
