Reflection on Writing

Successfully participating in Star Wars Rare Pairs and Chocolate Box has been a big deal for me, for a few reasons.

My Rare Pairs entry was the first piece I worked on after discovering I likely have un-diagnosed ADHD. This explains SO much about my writing history and hurdles.

I tried to participate in Chocolate Box Round 5, but had a very hard time with time management and ultimately had to default. I had a hard time with time management for these last two stories too, but having an idea of why was a measurable difference.

I did go into both assignments with the intent to include smut, but found I'm having a bit of trouble getting into the zone on that. My best guess is that my pandemic living situation is to thank for that. So on the one hand, it won't be forever, on the other hand it's a bummer because most things I plot out are smutty, including countless partial drafts I have tucked away.

Given the above, I am trying to decide if I should sign up for May the 4th or just hope to sprinkle some treats around...
