Ah, November—a few things come to mind:

* All Hallows Eve is over (did you remember to confiscate your kids' Reese's
 Peanut Butter Cups? [1]) and it's now All Hallows Day [2];
* the end of the 2020 Presidential Election season (which means that the
 start of the 2024 Presidential Election season will start Any Day Now™);
* my favorite holiday of the year is this month—Gobble Gobble Day [3] (woot!
 can't wait);
* it's the start of National Novel Writing Month [4], where you have to write
 a book of 50,000 fictional words (or is it a fictional book of 50,000
 words?—I get confused);
* it's also the start of National Novel Generation Month [5], where you have
 a computer program write a book of 50,000 fictional words, or real words—
 it's up to you.

I stopped doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) years ago, instead
switching to doing NaNoGenMo (National Novel Generation Month) as it's more
my style to have a computer do the hard work for me. I was worried that I had
no idea what to do for NaNoGenMo, but much to my surprise, I found I left
notes to myself for this years NaNoGenMo during last year's NaNoGenMo. I
don't think anyone has done this before, so I don't want to give too much
away at this time since the idea is (at least to me) very obvious (and no,
it's not a novel of 50,000 meows).
