Throwing in the Nanowrimo towel for 2006

I know when I've been licked. And not in the good way.

It's day 20, I've only got about 6000 words written, and I just don't see myself catching up, for a number of reasons:

1) There's a whole lot of vacation coming up where I'll have to be spending time with family and kids and I won't have writing time.

2) Right now I'm sick as a dog, and I'm doing the best I can just to survive all the other crazy commitments I've got going on.

3) Truth is -- I'm just not into the story right now.

So I'll shelve it for now, and get back to it later. I just can't work on it right now. I've got another story that wants to be written, and I'll probably take a stab at that first. But right now, I'm just gonna try to get well and survive.
