The reason why I've been writing every day since November 1st is because, during a momentary lapse of judgment, I signed up for NaBloPoMo.

To write every day when I'd never written regularly in the past did seem daunting, but to me, nothing is ever downright impossible. Besides, I thought that I would never run out of things to write about. I see so much on a daily basis-- wild and wooley patients, surgeons with Axis I personality disorders, and fast-lane medicine at its best. It's not easy to write about, though, particularly at the end of the day when I'm tired.
