• Today’s word count: 255
• Thoughts: I did it! I wrote! That’s all I wanted to do and I did it and so much more. I got a chapter posted today as well. My word count might not be huge, but I accomplished so much.
• Tomorrow’s goal: I need to keep writing. The one thing I know that kills my mojo these days is skipping days.

• Today’s word count: 506
• Thoughts: I like writing days like this. If I could write 500-ish words every single day I’d be in great shape. I feel like I need to write more, though, to make up for the really crappy writing days I’ve been having in droves lately.
• Tomorrow’s goal: More writing. I know I can do it. There’s a ton of motivation left to propel me forward.

No progress made. I hurt my back a couple days ago and today it reached the point where trying to take it easy and let it heal wasn’t cutting it anymore. I couldn’t find a comfortable position for sleep, spent the day exhausted and unable to do much at all. The aggravated muscle seems to be under my left shoulder blade so as a lefty I’m in a bit of trouble.

I’m taking care of myself so I have every confidence I’ll be back to writing soon.
