October Novel Prep Challenge

Just letting everyone know that I'm not dead! Apparently I've been having trouble managing my time wisely between this, school work, and chores. When I'm not doing assignments or house work, I'm not working on my story at all or catching up on the short stories I need to write. Does anyone have any advice?

By the way, I might miss the 72 hour mark again. Will I get kicked out? I was really hoping that this challenge would help me finally get my story done, but I'm barely catching up on the tasks.
