I have to admit, the last two days were not good writing days. Not because the words didn’t flow, but because there wasn’t time for the words to flow. The 14-hour day I had on Thursday turned into a 15-hour, super-busy day. I did write when I got home, a whopping 111 words, but then had to immediately crawl into bed and try to get some sleep so I wouldn’t be a zombie for the 11-hour day I ended up on yesterday. (That didn’t exactly work, either, because I was a zombie. And I had a headache from about 5 p.m. Thursday, until I woke up this morning. Not a fun experience.) Yesterday, I wrote all of 101 words. This brings my NaNo total up to 63,415. I am now behind schedule for my word count, but at least I did write both days, and I’m proud of that. Now I’ll just have to work a little bit harder to try to catch up to where I want to be.
