Yeah, that’s shitty.

Why I want to still win NaNo:

• Winning feels good.
• I already abandoned this story back in 2016 and I keep getting the urge to write it, so I feel like I should at least give it another fair shot.
• NaNo is really the only time where I feel like I have to force myself to write everyday. Which is good.
• I really don’t need yet another failure on my resume this year.
• I feel like I need to do something creative, and drawing’s out because I BLOW AT IT.

Why I want to abandon NaNo this year:

• BUSY.
• SERIOUSLY. BUSY.
• I haven’t had free time in like a year and a half and I’d really like a little bit of free time please lord
• It would go with the current theme of “Claudia Fails Hard at Everything She Tries in 2018” that I’ve got going on.
• I’d much rather deliberately quit than fail after trying. I know that’s like the worst attitude to have, but I give zero fucks.

Eh. I’ll give it a shot. Maybe.
