Itching

I wish NaNoWriMo was starting tomorrow. And here's why.

I started re-reading last year's (unfinished) NaNoWriMo book. Call me crazy. I just felt drawn to it after that lightbulb moment the other day. I haven't thought much about that book until recently, probably because I was so deep into Sharra's War.

As I was reading, I remembered why I got so far with it in the first place. Because it is good! Or potentially good. Maybe that's hopeful thinking, but as I read I thought, "Hmmm...I'd like to finish this. It's got potential!" That's a good thing, but I wonder if I will be able to put it down and start something new on November 1st.

But you know what? I put Sharra aside last year to do NaNoWriMo, and Sharra didn't suffer for it. So maybe it will be perfectly safe for me to work on last year's book until the madness begins. I'm itching to work on a novel, so I might as well work on the one I've got going already.

Anyone else planning on setting their current WIP aside to do NaNoWriMo?
