I know I want to drop down from 200k, because I've got a) a dissertation coming up next year b) a new job with more hours and c) I want to focus on getting back into visual arts as well as keeping up with writing On one hand, I know I found 150k easy enough last year, but I did still have less going on in my life at that point, so finding time to write was simple. Finding it this year has been tricky, and I've been more prone to writing binges of 2-7k words on a free day, because getting into the necessary headspace hasn't been easy for anything more than 100-500~ word short bursts. If I drop to 75k, though, I know I'll make it, even with other stresses on top - but if it's too easy, I might fall out the habit entirely. And I don't think habits pledges are for me, either - I'd be more prone to chucking 100 words down and calling it a day then hahaha
I think I'll spend some time considering what's best for me before I pledge. I am contemplating the option of going for 75k on paper but making my 'real' goal 100k, nicely in the middle of the two options I'm thinking of. Then I can stretch goal to 150k if life turns out to be less hectic than I'm envisioning.
Either way, 2021, I'll probably go for 150k again!
