For several years I *accomplished* writing a Wyatt Ferguson story every 
month.  I set myself an easy goal, with lots of plot stimuli.  But I 
don't even participate in NaNoWriMo, because projects don't work to a 
timeline.

People often put up goals, saying "Read so much in a year!"  (Never 
mind, write.)  I never achieve even those goals, because I read what and 
when I like.  But yet I read.

That's the way it works.

Almost all my old experiments are online at http://eilertech.com/stories/ .
