I'm glad to hear you're doing better. I've for sure done the major depression with GYWO and only wrote 15K over a whole year. It's tough to keep writing when feeling like that!
75K is a nice, comfortable number if you feel like you want to keep counting words, but that habit pledge can be great when you're feeling depressed because you can set aside just one or two days a week as your writing day(s) and use that time to play with a fandom or even just tell yourself a story. You can keep the commitment low and use your writing as a pick-me-up instead of as a goal to achieve.
Whatever you choose, you'll always have the support of the community to help you through the year, and if you wind up having another tough year, we'll be there to help you through it.
(Thank you so much for being one of those who've been with us for so long!!)
