I ended up surprising myself and writing 150k+ over my word count pledge for the first time ever. I'm considering taking 350k next year (which is so strange to me because I always found 200k to be the best goal for me for personal reasons).
Even though this year was technically different to any other year, I felt busier than I've ever been in my professional life. It did help that I was wfh, but as I wrote in the evening way after work was over (and have written in the evenings after going out), I think I have a routine settled even if I had to trudge back into the office. I definitely think because I've focused on getting into a writing rhythm and getting a routine down that I can reach a higher word count next year. (The only thing that work can do is get busier, which I know I can handle—writing has become my little wind-down and treat after work.) I have a lot of writing projects I want to focus on. I definitely have the content for a Herculean effort.
It's just so scary! But I've been aiming for 200k for a few years now and I think it's time for a change of scenery. I considered going to 250k, but I think I'll either go 300k or 350k. Even though blue/purple are two of my favourite colours, those greens look nice, too.
