Well, yesterday, I posted this question/thought again on the Mudcat thread about it. And someone I know on there said she wished I'd join up so I could guide her through it...
So, with that little nudge, I decided to go for it -- only this time, I'm not expecting or planning to "win"... But just to have it as a thing.
The theme for The Art Garden this year is "Charms," and its deadline is November 12. So what I've decided is: to work on something for that today and tomorrow (a sonnet, maybe), and then use whatever key thought arise in that work as the starting point for my NaNovel.
So I will go do that now...
(after a snack and a pee, not necessarily in that order...)
Oh, and tonight on Nova, it's the start of a new series about emerging theories in quantum physics: dark energy, time travel, more parallel universes, etc., with Brian Greene. I can't remember my opinion of him, but I think I remember him being kinda cool (not as cool as Sagan or Feynman, but you have to take what you've got).

In the past, I've always used my NaNo novel to create a psychological buffer zone for myself. And now, the prospect of dealing with all that without the project that requires to write past word #35,000 is scaring me at the moment... scaring me quite a lot, actually.
So ... Should I, or shouldn't I?
