Only 10 more days of 3,000 words a a day and I will succeed! Argh this is so stressful, but I bring it on myself. Add to the fact that I'm getting more involved with a dog rescue and it's so sad and I can't handle some of the horribleness of people, this November is just wrecking me.

Okay, seriously, this is where I start to question if it's worth continuing, it's so off the rails and it makes no sense and why even bother?

Okay, a better day, though I was aiming for 4,000 to make up for yesterday. I ran out of steam and couldn't motivate myself, plus I have no frickin' clue where this story is going...

Missed my 2,000 word goal today, but it's a miracle I managed to force myself to write at all, so I'll take it!

Yeah, 44 words. I tried, but I was just too tired and unmotivated. It's not going brilliantly, I admit. There's still time to save it, but I have to spend more days getting above the minimum than below. I need to institute a new minimum of 2,000 words per day...

No idea where this is going, but if I don't do some serious catch up this weekend I'll be tempted to give it up. The stress of being too far behind is real!

Okay, now I'm really getting behind. This is definitely about the time I start giving up, and I kinda want to, as I have no idea where this story is going, but I also really want to push through and do this thing this year. I haven't been writing, and part of me really misses it. I think drabbles are more my style, but this is a good challenge and I want to force myself to stick to it. Maybe I'll feel better if tomorrow, I at least don't fall further behind...

Actually did some writing, but still woefully behind. I'm not sure what I think of this start...
