Is anyone doing NaNoWriMo? [View all]

I was going to, but I got tied up because I have a major gem show on Veterans Day weekend. I'm done with that for the year and only have the local gallery to worry about (and plenty of things from show stock to put there) so thinking of putting in the time to at least work on something.

I have several books started in various stages of progress:

A story, partially based on true events, about girls brought up in a fundamentalist family whose father molests them. Until one shocking event, none of them knows that he's done it to all of them. The rest of the story deals with the aftermath.

A sci-fi story of sorts about a girl who grows up on a world somewhere and becomes a midwife. It's kind of a socio-cultural study.

Two romances, one about the reunion of high school sweethearts, the other about a woman and her new next door neighbor who is the single father of three adopted sons. (The first is a reworking of something I started years ago and I'm still not all that happy with it but Harlequin might be LOL)

Which one to concentrate on?
