NaNo looms...help!

I have an October dilemma. It's the 8th, right? That means I've got 23 days to decide if I'm gonna do NaNo this year. (For those who don't know NaNo, that's National Novel Writing Month which is November, and I've written two NaNo novels in the last two years.) I want to do it, like, a LOT, but the last two years I left for my birthday vacation on the last day of the month, so I only had one less day to finish. This year I'm leaving on the 27th, meaning I'll have FOUR less days to finish. *does the math* That means I've gotta write 1,923 words a day to get the required 50,000, instead of the 1,724 I had to write the other 2 times. That's 200 more words, and when you're writing almost 2,000 a day, that's a LOT of words! Also, last year's novel is a MESS, and I'd kinda rather edit it and post it, since I've already made a home for it at everafter_verse. But I really really want a 2008 NaNo banner! I dunno, y'all! Tell me what to DO!!!!!
