Oh god not at all! And I sympathize with unemployment as I'm currently in the same position, have been for over a month now, first month was okay but now it's just starting to fray on my nerves - I had an interview last week which didn't go so well -_-; hence me being down this entire week lol, I tend to brood I guess? It just sucks when it affects my writing because then it gets to me even more!
Ah the 38 Mistakes book lol, is the one that always kicks my ass into gear, I love it too XD But actually now that you mention it! The Mystery Edition of the Weekend Novelist, I actually put it an order for that since I'm working on--well, not so much a Mystery as more of an Urban Fantasy/Detective, but since it's going to have mystery involved I thought I might as well! So I'll definitely be trying out the rec you have me!!! The more help the better really.
Yeah NaNoWriMo - I did consider giving it a miss this year, more because I actually felt impatient about the story and just wanted to start it but, I think what always appeals to me about it is that even if 95% of what I have at the end of NaNo is bad (and it always is... >.>;) it gives me a starting base :s which I badly need *sigh*
Keep pushing!!! I think what people say about writers is often wrong, lol what we need most is stamina and old fashioned stubbornness even when we want to pull our hair out :D we'll definitely get our novel out eventually <3
