Tenth time veteran here. I don't need a reason to do it anymore, I need a reason to not do it, and so far none has been sufficient to kerb my addiction.

Some people do less words, or continue with a project they already have, or write short stories etc... I like it because it gives me motivation to get things done, and it's easy to get caught up the craziness of it, especially if you belong to the facebook group.
