Sometimes it's just about doing what helps you sort it out, fabledfigment! I do the Prep every year because it's how I sort things out. I certainly make adjustments to my assignments as I see fit, but I don't see anything wrong with that.

The important thing is to keep on writing. Which I am impressed to see so many folks have done this year, through thick, thin, and even, in some cases, through hurricanes.
