October 4

• Total word count: 183,451
• Today’s word count: 7
• Thoughts: I had an interesting day. I woke up at 5 and went with my mom to an outpatient procedure and spent the day hanging out with her because of anesthesia. Today I also learned that Dropbox is no longer supported on Windows XP so my tiny portable writing machine isn’t synced with my WIP anymore. I spent most of the day reading or too exhausted to write properly. My mom is doing great though so I’m happy about that.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Write. Write so much and make up for the lack of writing.

• Thoughts: I finally did it! It took me the entire first week of October, but I finally wrote 1,500 words in one day. Now I just need to keep it up.
• Tomorrow’s goal: More writing. Oh! And I’ll be posting a chapter. Can you believe The Dreams is up to 45 chapters?!

• Today’s word count: 141
• Thoughts: Today was interesting to say the least. Scrivener was throwing a fit for a while and stopped responding multiple times. I think I lost more than an hour of productivity to straightening that out. I did manage to get this week’s chapter posted though and I wrote a tiny bit too.
• Tomorrow’s goal: More writing. Hopefully a lot more writing.

• Tomorrow’s goal: Writing. Lots and lots of writing.
