The Thunder Clouds are Looming on the horizon

Yes, there are thunder clouds coming up on us.  With lightning flashes of inspiration, and the rumbling of the fast approaching deadline.  It's National Novel Writing Month!!!!  YAAAA!!  I have been looking forward to this sense mid September, and now it's all most here!  (dose a giggling, dance across the kitchen) Here I am thinking of all the lovely memories from last November.  The mountains of wonderful writing ideas.  A good excuse to slake of the school work.  The simple joy of curling up in front of the fire place to write a novel.  Ahh, (contented sigh).
But then my mind kicks in . . . Ya, remember the panicked scribbling of the pen, the long hours, not getting enough sleep.  Remember how you were always falling asleep anywhere and everywhere because you got up at 4:00 in morning.  And how in the end you didn't finish because you hand wrote the novel and couldn't get it onto the computer in time.
Ya, ya I remember, but this time is going to be different, (emphatic nod).  This time I have a laptop which I will write on instead of a notebook, and so eliminating the possibility of that last bad memory taking place again.  Also this time I am carefully scheduling my time so I always get a full nights sleep, and won't be pacing out in the middle of church. 
When all is said I'm really, really excited about November, and I think I'm ready.  My little sister is doing it this year to, that should make this year even better then last.  So, what are your thoughts on the coming November?  Is anyone else going to be doing it this year?  And if so are you excited about it?
