Terrible day! I did force myself to write at least 500 words, but didn't manage much more than that.

...dammit! I just couldn't motivate myself today. There were a lot of other things going on and I just could not make myself write, not even a measly 500 words. All the ground I had clawed back I've lost, and the amount I have to write per day is becoming... daunting. I hope this doesn't end up like years ago when I got to the last 3 days and decided I was going to finish despite having over 35,000 words left to write? Well, it can't be exactly like that, I'm already beyond that, but it's still not going well...

Yeah, I'm not doing this again, and this time I really, really, really, really mean it. What is the point of writing such a crap story beyond the point of doing it, which I've already proven (multiple times) that I can? A real challenge would be to have an outline and a story arc and something I knew where it was going to write! No more of this flying by the seat of my pants and never finishing things!

NaNoWriMo 2019, Day 25

Daily wordcount: 4,752
Total wordcount: 35,920

I tried to get more written today but I ran out of steam. plus, I have to admit that feeling like I made some headway made me feel lax. There are 5 days left, and I have 15,500 words left to write. That's 2,816 words per day. Not unattainable, but not easy, either. The good news is that three of those days I don't have to work (Thursday, Friday, Saturday) so I have more time to write. The bad news is that I have a lot of things planned for Saturday, so, honestly, if I don't get it done on Friday I'm probably hosed. So let's say that should be 3,520 words a day for the next 4 days? We shall see...
