• Total word count: 180,003
• Today’s word count: 101
• Thoughts: Today was not the big return to writing that I had hoped for. I guess my brain is having trouble switching back to writing after being stuck on revisions for so many days.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Get the writing brain properly switched back on.

• Total word count: 180,322
• Today’s word count: 319

• Tomorrow’s goal: Start revising. Get back on track with the writing thing!

• Project: The Dreams
• Total word count: 180,753
• Today’s word count: 431
• Thoughts: I’m slowly building up my word count stamina again. At this point I’m still trying to figure out what is stopping me from reaching the word counts I was hitting earlier this month.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Revisions. More writing.

September 29

• Project: The Dreams
• Total word count: 181,290
• Today’s word count: 537
• Thoughts: Better. Still not great, but my word counts are getting better. I wish I knew where all of the energy I had earlier this month went. It disappeared with my migraine and hasn’t returned. I miss it.
• Tomorrow’s goal: More writing. More revising because I’m not finished with it. Again.

September 30

• Project: The Dreams
• Total word count: 181,186
• Today’s word count: -104
• Thoughts: Revisions. Yay… I don’t know why I’m struggling with revisions lately. I think my lack of vision for the final arc of this story has really messed things up. The only reason I don’t have the vision for the end is because I’m afraid to end the story. So revisions are hard because writing has been hard.
• Tomorrow’s goal: I need to get the chapter posted. That’s my number one priority.

October 1

• Project: The Dreams
• Total word count: 181,123
• Today’s word count: -63
• Thoughts: A bit of writing. A bit of revision. It’s not the best start to the month, but I got the chapter posted so I’m trying not to be disappointed.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Writing. Actual writing!

October 2

• Project: The Dreams
• Total word count: 182,185
• Today’s word count: 1,062
• Thoughts: I finally did a thing I told myself I’d do long, long ago. I pulled up Tomato Timer and did some sprints on my own. The first one was a bust but the second one was quite successful. Today’s word count is the result of two sprints!
• Tomorrow’s goal: More sprinting, I think.
