I allowed myself infinitely extendable deadlines, and they don't work for me. Here's another place I find a writing buddy ever useful: to keep me on track after NaNo to be sure I finished the project.

Thank you to Brandiwyn🎶 , I did finish the last NaNo project by the end of March with only a small delay without working on it.

It's out of scope of this forum, but there ought to be a way to gather the rest of us together to keep working on projects after November.
