I'm officially burned out. Maybe it was the lateness of Thanksgiving this year or maybe the weather. Or maybe I[m getting old and lazy. In any case I'm having a hard time to get back into finishing the novel I started for NaNo. The good news is that I've been here before and I am sure it will pass. After Christmas, I'll play with my new toys and then in the new year I'll get back to writing.

I am toying with the idea of pulling a few chapters out of my novel and turning them into shorts. That may get me back into the writing mode.
