You know, I've been hanging around this place for a few years now, and I thought I had most things figured out by now.

I was wrong.

See, it's time to sign up for round 6 of Promptly Poetry and in order to sign up, I need a book to register as the place my poems will reside. My problem is the same as it was last year - I am allowed only 10 books and I already have that number. I also had some notion that each one could have only 100 entries. Well each round of PPC has 52 entries and I was convinced that I would have to upgrade my membership in order to proceed without deleting things. I don’t have any other place to keep my writing, so that’s not an appealing option. But even if I have enough GPs to upgrade for a few months, there's no way I can keep up with it. It would mean deleting things later, anyway.

But before I did something rash, I went searching for better information on how much each book holds. It took me quite a while before I stumbled upon the "Manage Book” option in the settings menu. I know - I should have started there. I was not thinking straight due to unnecessary worry.

To my surprise, these books are about 15 times larger than I thought they were. They are nowhere near full. And I don’t need to upgrade. Maybe I will someday . If the internet still exists. If I still exist.

But for now, I can just keep stuffing more and more poems and such into the books I already have until they burst at the seams. Maybe that will be my new goal - to actually reach full stuffingness, or umm… full storage capacity.
