Thank you *hugs* I think there are people who are at their best under pressure, but I am not one of them. Like others, I can give encouragement but unlike some, I also need it.

It's arbitrary is what I say every time I remember I won last year and yet that novel is only about half done. I've written a lot of gift fics for Yuletide, and I've finished some fic and I've finished first drafts of long in progress fics, so I have been more productive than perhaps I've been giving myself credit for. I'd like to not fail ("to not-win"?) by too many words though!
