To NaNo or Not to NaNo

I've been debating a question for a while now.  Whether or not to participate in NaNo this November.  I did it last year and I did Camp NaNo this year.  However, since those events, my son was born.  So the debate is whether or not to try NaNo while taking care of my son - who will be about 2 1/2 months old at the beginning of November.  This debate reminded me of the soliloquy (or is it a monologue?) from Hamlet.  So, using Trifecta's prompt this week and borrowing from Shakespeare, here's my response to the prompt:



To NaNo, or not to NaNo: that is the question.
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of uneasy questions,
Or to take arms against a sea of doubts,
And by writing end them?  To write: to NaNo;
No more; and by NaNo to say we create
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That characters are heir to, ‘The End’ is a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d.  To write, to NaNo;
To NaNo: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub;
For in that NaNo what dreams of publication may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
For the title of author.


Be sure to stop over at Trifecta and check out the other responses to the prompt.
