NaNoWriMo derailed

It's only Day 5 of NaNoWriMo, and I'm already completely derailed. The derailing happened on Day 2, around 12:30 pm. At that moment, I decided I needed to apply for the NSF fellowship. I would be filled with self-loathing if I didn't at least turn in an application. That applications is, of course, due tomorrow.

I have been writing this week, which is half of the point of NaNoWriMo. I've just been writing about how I'm an amazing person and my plan for great research.

I will return to my novel tomorrow! I miss you already, novel of mine!
