Seriously, realizing that one had too much to handle is a proper reason, or life suddenly happening in the middle too. The round past this one, I was working so I didn't write much. This round, since I wasn't working and was just taking care of some family issues, I took waaaaaaay too many and I considered dropping some because it didn't seem that I would enjoy it. In the end I did write everything because I'm stubborn like that, but, seriously.

Writing is about fun. This is a hobbie. The moment this hobbie starts being a chore, then it's not fun, and then it's not a hobbie anymore. I'd rather one of my prompts was dropped rather than the writer give something that s/he doesn't feel proud of, or something that they enjoyed.

And sometimes there aren't ways to deal with life kicking your ass.
