How will you juggle life and Nano?
I know everyone has lots of other stuff going on in their lives, and I'm curious as to how they'll juggle "life" stuff with writing for Nano.
I have work, school, and housework. I may ask DH to do a little extra around the house for me, so I have more time to write. I'm planning on using my lunch breaks at work to write. I'm doing FBC, so I still want to have time for reading, too. Sadly, I'm not too concerned about my schoolwork. It's my last semester, so I'm pretty much over it all. 
Who am I kidding. I probably won't do any housework and will sneak extra time in during work just so I can write. My school assignments will be done at the last minute and will suck. And I probably won't finish a book in November. Lol.
Re: How will you juggle life and Nano?
I haven't won the past 2 NaNos because I've sucked at juggling. I work a FT job, my DH works nights leaving care for our DD (4 the first year I did NaNo, 6 this year) to me... I have normal household chores and stuff to do as well, etc.
This year, though, I will be on maternity leave.
And I am hoping and praying the baby stays put until my due date 12/2! (OK OK he/she can come 12/1 but that's it!) 
Of course I'll be nesting and resting and all of that fun stuff but I plan to dedicate 2 hours every morning (between dropping DD off at school and when DH comes home for lunch) to writing, and hopefully that will help me hit 50K!
A huge help for me will be my train trip to see family for Kansas. I'll have a combined total of 22 hours on a train to write. That doesn't include layover time
Also, I'm going to set aside a dedicated hour to write each night. Last year, I didn't meet the goal, but I noticed on the nights when I set a goal of an hour, I exceeded it. When I didn't set a goal, I hardly wrote at all.
