This is to inform me (and Lisa), that I have dropped out of getyourwordsout, because I can't handle the pressure. I still plan to post 1000-word rambles over here, but I think it's better for me to set my own goal, and one that isn't quite so insane.

I'm not disappointed in myself. Things do come up in life, and this year is no different. I made it to over 28000 words in a month, and I'm quite proud of that. I still plan to edit my NaNos, and hopefully still take part of that in November. But no more GYWO craziness. *sadface*

*SANEFACE*

ETA: For my own sake, I'm setting my goal this year for 200000 words, which I'm fairly confident I will have surpassed by November. I'll write a pledge (to myself) in the next entry, saying as such. I'll even get one of those fancy progress bars. Everyone's gonna be so *happy*.

Word Count: 155
Word Count to Date: 28869

*squishes* I fully support you in this. Writing should be fun and destressing if it's not something is backwards. I will miss your rambles but maybe in the interim I'll get better at commenting instead of just reading.

Your word count kicked mine's ass (<--you know what I mean in the grammatically correct way whatever that is) and you had tons more stuff to do than me. I don't know how you did it. You deserve confetti of the sparkly rainbow variety.

Sane is good! *nods*

Oddly, I found an envelope full of sparkly confetti when I was cleaning out some of the boxes in my room. I laughed so hard for so long, because I remember you sending me that :)

Yeah, I'm setting a lower goal, and will leisurely make my way there throughout the year. Setting a goal keeps me honest, and I really do enjoy writing every day - I just can't keep up with what I signed up for, and I would miss the second check-in due to being in Europe, and I already missed the first because I was moving.

So, I pledge allegiance to my Lisa, that I will still write 200,000 words (of ramble!) this year of 2011, and I will make her laugh. Yaaaay! :D

hehe <33

200,000 is still a ridiculous and awesome goal. Much more doable though *g*
