• Thoughts: I wish I had an easier time writing today. I wanted to write. I had ideas. My head was killing me. The only reason I wrote the words I did was because I couldn’t fall asleep and decided to try writing to empty my brain.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Write. Recover. I don’t know why my head still hurts, but I need to get past this so I can focus on being productive again.

• Thoughts: I wrote! I wrapped up a scene and started a scene that I’ve been really excited to write. That’s always a great feeling.
• Tomorrow’s goal: I should revise, but I want to keep writing since I’m so motivated. I hope I can do both without one hurting my ability to do the other.

• Thoughts: I did some revising and some writing today. Days like this feel great. I just hope I can keep up this level of productivity.
• Tomorrow’s goal: More revising and hopefully more writing. If I have ideal conditions I know I can do it so I guess it comes down to whether I can create the right conditions for super productivity.

• Thoughts: Oh my goodness. These revisions. I didn’t write anything new today. All the time I had to dedicate to writing went to revisions and I’m still not done. I don’t know why it takes me so long to get through these chapters lately. They’re not any messier than earlier chapters, but I can’t blast through them like before.
• Tomorrow’s goal: More revision! Now I just hope that I can finish the revisions and start writing again.

• Thoughts: Ugh. Revisions. I don’t know why they are so difficult some weeks. I’m still struggling through this week’s revisions. It’s not helped by the fact that I have been ridiculously hyper for the past few days. If I could sit still longer I could get more done.
• Tomorrow’s goal: I need to get this week’s chapter finished and posted. I can only hope that I can write after the chapter is posted too.

• Thoughts: I got back to writing! It felt great. Getting back into the scene I was working on was a bit more of a challenge. I can tell I’m not quite keeping the scene in the right tone. I guess I’ll have to correct it during revisions.
• Tomorrow’s goal: More writing! It’ll be fantastic. I’m looking forward to writing some of the stuff I have planned for the near future.

• Thoughts: I feel good about the progress I made today. I still wish I could have written more. I wish I could write a whole book in a day, honestly, but I know that would be physically impossible with the size of the stories I tend to tell and trying would probably cause my head to explode from coming up with so much plot in such a short time. I agonized over naming two characters today. I’d fall apart if I had many more characters to name at once.
• Tomorrow’s goal: More writing! I’m feeling good about the story right now. I hope I can keep the good writing vibes going.
