I'm participating this year because I want to try and jump start my writing efforts for 2018. I've taken part before, but it's been a few years I believe, and I don't know that I've ever actually completed the whole thing. I know that's not required, but still.

I was drawn to it from seeing someone else take part years ago, and it made me want to give it a shot. Not enough to finish it, apparently, hah, but it looks like fun. And that's what drew me back to it this year, to see if I can have some fun with it.

I hope to improve both the consistency and the quality of my writing this year, which is probably what 99.9% of the participants want to do, I'm sure. I did take some steps toward this last year, mainly by pairing up with my cousin who is also trying to write consistently. We meet on a weekly basis to exchange tips, advice, and to review each other's writing. My plan for 2018 is to keep that up, and to enter more exchanges/contests over the year. We'll see how it goes.
