September 25
- Project: Inbetween
- Total word count: 120,437
- Today’s word count: 343
- Thoughts: I wrote, but the amount I wrote isn’t enough to make me happy. A couple hundred more words and I’d be pretty pleased, but this word count is just a bit too low in my opinion. I struggled to figure out how to write what was in my head today so it doesn’t surprise me that my word count reflects that.
- Tomorrow’s goal: Get out of my own head and get the words written.
September 26
- Project: Inbetween
- Total word count: 121,045
- Today’s word count: 608
- Thoughts: I feel like I’m getting back on track. Even though most of what I’ve been writing has been character exploration, I’m still really happen with the words I’ve committed to paper. I hope they’ll help me keep everyone in character later.
- Tomorrow’s goal: Revising. Maybe some writing. I know I’ll be busy tomorrow because I’m going to a show in the evening. I’ll revise before I go and hopefully write when I get back.
September 27
- Project: Inbetween
- Total word count: 121,041
- Today’s word count: -4
- Thoughts: As you can see from my word count, I didn’t do much in the way of writing after the show. I revised during the day, but when I got home late last night, I was wound up but in no way in the right mindset to write new words.
- Tomorrow’s goal: More revising. More writing. I’m not going anywhere so I should have a productive day.

- Total word count: 121,026
- Today’s word count: -15
- Thoughts: More revisions today. I really want to write, but I know I need to get this chapter into shape before I switch gears.
- Tomorrow’s goal: Finish up revision and get back to writing!

- Project: Inbetween
- Total word count: 120,922
- Today’s word count: -104
- Thoughts: Ugh. Revising is hard this week. I want to go back to easy weeks with one day of revising.
- Tomorrow’s goal: Get this chapter posted!
September 30
- Project: Inbetween
- Total word count: 120,927
- Today’s word count: 5
- Thoughts: I got the chapter posted! I wrote a bit, even if my word count doesn’t appear to support that story.
- Tomorrow’s goal: More writing. Sundays are either great or terrible for writing. I’m hoping to make this one a great Sunday.
October 1
- Project: Inbetween
- Total word count: 121,239
- Today’s word count: 312
- Thoughts: It was struggle to get started today. I’m not sure what is making writing so hard lately. I want to blame it on my overly long revision times. Those days are forced breaks from writing new words and jumping forward again has been extremely difficult.
- Tomorrow’s goal: Writing. I want to orchestrate a day of writing with reckless abandon. I’m not sure it will happen, but the start of October, with the NaNoWriMo forums getting reset seems like the perfect time to try.
