How I’m getting Ready for NaNoWriMo

Tim asked me to blog about how I’m getting ready for NaNoWriMo this year. Well, I’m saying no to anything and everything in November except for a few special commitments–like my daughter coming back from college on the 1st for two days, and a special event at my synagogue, also on November 1st.
