Thread necromancy? Cool, Cool. XD
Can't wait for Sisyphus! I love this challenge. The stress is fun stress and it helps knowing I'm not alone! I mean, if you have external stress certainly sit it out, but a certain amount of freaking out about Sisyphus is normal. I get super stressed and pull my hair out, trunk what I have and start over two or three times, and nearly ALWAYS need the extension even though I always start early. According to what someone posted previously about having trouble, every one of my years could be counted as a bad year. I wouldn't say that though because I got a story out of it each year! I actually look forward to Sisyphus more than NaNo.
To those who are worried about participating because you're worried about disappointing your giftee, don't be. Most people are just ecstatic that somebody took the time out to write a story for them.
Yet again I didn't complete anything this year other than my Sisyphus. I'm not that bothered about it anymore. My NaNo project is taking up a lot of my attention. I'm taking a more organized approach this time, and hopefully it will pay off and I will actually complete this monster.
