GetYourWordsOut: Year Eighteen!
Pledges & Requirements | getyourwordsout.net

Made the (probably idiotic!) decision to sign up for Get Your Words Out again.

First year with this account, obviously, and I think it might be my sixth overall.

Pledged for 250k this year, which is two tiers higher than last year's 150k but lower than some of my more insane attempts in previous years. As usual, I suspect I'll either breeze through it with no trouble whatsoever, or crash and burn so dreadfully there'll be nothing left of me but a pile of ash and shame.

I haven't experienced the latter yet... but you know, first time for everything.

At any rate, I'm hoping -- as I've hoped before, with zero success, but hey, sixth time's the charm, right? -- that this will push me into using this space to actually Talk About My Writing, and my fannish feelings in general. It's easier in a new space, without having to worry about boring or annoying any existent followers who Did Not Sign Up For This Shit. Building a space slowly and quietly is rather freeing, in that sense.

At the very least, I'm hoping this will keep me motivated to at least try -- as I've also done before, with greater-than-zero success -- to sustain some sort of monthly check-in post or something.

Maybe. Hopefully. Maybe?
