I love the past self / Evelyn play! Delicious. But you are right: this year could 100% be different, because every project is different, and every phase of every project is different and etc. etc.

I am a slow writer, who writes first drafts that aren't so much shitty as ugly, and I have limited writing time most days, so writing upwards of 1000 words per day isn't possible / doesn't make sense for my writing. HOWEVER, I'm going to commit to at least 500 a day, which will be challenging and invigorating yet attainable.

Also: YES. The Babadook is so very, very good. Have you seen "It Follows"? Also a good one.

I guess I’ll be doing NaNoWriMo by default? I had the wild idea to completely rewrite the novel I’m querying with a new main character. So wish me luck! 😬
