Comments on: Making a Tough but Good Decision http://www.practicemakesimperfect.com/inner-peace/making-a-tough-but-good-decision Perfection has its price. And it's too high.

And good for you for finishing another one last month, too--that's no joke. Go, you! :o) Hi Roxanne–I think finishing a work in progress is a great use of “NaNovember”!

However, I decided that it would make much more sense for me to finish past NaNo-started WIPs that never quite made it to THE END. I completed the first one last month. This month I am going to allow the inspiration and excitement of NaNo to propel me to finish a 2nd WIP. I really wanted to do NaNo this year.

Because this is HARD. I'm actually going through NaNo grief (grief for a voluntary event!) and I'm about to write to the person at the Office of Letters and Light (the non-profit fundraising arm of NaNoWriMo) to let her know I won't be taking up their offer. I've been blocking on writing the e-mail for over a week, and I've just got to get it written already. I realized after writing this blog post that it was my way of going public with my decision, to help enforce the decision. Delicious irony, no? Normally you'd expect someone to publicly commit to **doing** something, to help keep themselves from backing out. Here I'm making myself publicly accountable for NOT doing something to keep myself from doing it! I have to laugh at that.

Congrats on a hard decision- and may you enjoy the spaciousness of November without NaNo (this year!).

Congratulations for recognizing what you really need. NaNo comes around every year. I bet you'll do it again and there may even be some of those exclamation marks! That is a tough decision.
