I've had similar thoughts each time I've gone for the habit pledge - though this year I also took it because I really just need to set up a better writing routine in general since everything for me in regards to that has been hell for the last few years. It hasn't worked, though this year I might make the pledge (I took the lower of the two in the middle for habit pledges). I suppose the good part of the habit pledge is you can still count the work stuff as 'having written' even if you can't really get it to work for a word count pledge? It may not be for the win, and I get that like it's not horrible if you don't 'finish' but having missed for a few years in a row now myself, it is totally disheartening.

May your former bosses that let you go without warning step on legos barefoot at least once a week for the rest of time. That's shitty as fuck. Like I've seen it happen a ton and each time I get angrier.

In general my year...well it's sucked, but so have most years since 2016 tbh. I had thought I was in a good place and then my brother passed suddenly so that made things go to hell. The only thing I have worked on fairly steadily is an old fashioned PBEM game - basically I don't want to let my friends down by not posting even if I don't do so as quickly as they or I would like. lol But can I translate that to fic? Not really, not yet. It's been hard to get back into WIPs but it's also been hard to launch new ideas. I'm proud of you for at least getting that new(er?ish?) Good Omens fic at least! And hey, Nano is weird and unpredictable so maybe you will be able to manage everything? Meanwhile I'm still struggling to figure out which idea to work on, I even asked friends if they could comment on the ideas in the hopes that it might make my brain go 'oh yes, you're right that one is the one' or 'no no no, this one is totally better how dare you not pick it' but...that hasn't really worked so far as one person didn't actually say anything useful (I explained as I did above and they said "well just pick the one you're interested in" and I kinda want to ask if she read the directions lol) and the other's comment got a "..." from my brain. lol

Good luck to us both and everyone else attempting!
