Nanowrimo is half over

I've only got a couple more weeks for nanowrimo and my novel is getting bigger and bigger with no sign of actually being finished. Thank god for inspiring quotes. I get them on my personalized Google page. Here's a great one:

Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live. – Mark Twain

and

Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious. - Brendan Gill
