I know you’ll all say that you’d only have spent the time watching TV…

As somebody who never watches TV anyway, I find that very unlikely. If I ever have sufficient free time to watch TV, I’ll know I’m doing too little. NaNoWriMo helps ensure this doesn’t happen.

However, over November and December I do have a particularly large project for a national charity which would drive me insane if I didn’t have other projects to work on alongside it, which is something I considered carefully before comitting to NaNoWriMo.

You still haven’t suggested a better use of my resources.
