Lunch: 496!
I probably won’t get more done tonight, but I’m pretty pleased with what I got today. I know what needs to happen, it’s just kind of a “slow” part right now, so it’s tough to write. I want it to be interesting, and not just filler, but I don’t quite want to just say “and then they…” and skip all of it. Maybe I’ll need to do that when I revise, but I really want to chug through this and get it out because it will be a lot easier to cut than it will be to add.
Anyway, yeah, haven’t been hitting my targets this week, but who cares. It’s been a very busy week.
Ok, today I decided that instead of trying to force myself to write the next scene, I would try and plot out the rest of this section of the story (I’ve got three sections planned, and I’m on the first). I managed to crank out 891 words over lunch. Granted, they aren’t 891 “story” words, but I’m still pleased. When I sit down to hammer it out (maybe even tomorrow at lunch, since I did way more than I thought I would), it will be a lot easier to write. So…woo!

Depressing.
I’m going to spend today and tomorrow figuring out what, specifically, needs to happen to get me to the next major plot point in the hopes that I’ll be able to crank out more stuff over the weekend and next week.
I realized that since there are 23 built-in holidays, keeping the days numbered in my titles might get weird, so I’m going with dates now.
Lunch: 260

Total: 260
I’ll edit tonight or tomorrow, but since I’m not busy after work, I should be able to crank out a bit more once I get a nap in (I’m freaking exhausted today).
Edit: I went to bed at 8:30 last night.
