I unfortunately had to bow out this year. I made it to a little over 18k which is much better than last years total for me.
I've had a lot of problems that hit this month. Abscessed teeth, root canals, and work is so terrible I have almost walked out and quit on the spot 2-3 times.
With all this going on not only could I not get into my story enough to write I just haven't had time.
I think next year I will do another original story but I will prepare much better for it than I did this year. This year I went into the story with no plot and no characters. Next year I think I at least need to have a general idea of what I want.
