• Project: Inbetween
• Total word count: 145,782
• Today’s word count: 206
• Thoughts: I seem to be hovering around this word count again. It seems to be the most I can write while being stuck or distracted by preplanning for other projects.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Writing, revising, and maybe some preplanning too!

• Today’s word count: 105
• Thoughts: My word count looks less than spectacular, but I feel pretty accomplished. I got a chapter posted (still working on getting back to my usual posting schedule) and I worked on writing a bit. Overall, it could have been a much worse day.
• Tomorrow’s goal: More writing. I think I can pull it off.

• Thoughts: Today was kinda awesome. I feel like I accomplished a lot. I usually hesitate to juggle both my projects in one day. It tends to make me feel off balance and whatever I work on second tends to suffer. That didn’t happen today. I might have to rethink how I organize my days and see if I can replicate this with some consistency.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Tomorrow is the start of a few days of chaos for me. I’m going to do my best not to set any lofty goals and just try to show up and get something done each day.

• Today’s word count: 123
• Thoughts: Today turned out just about how I expect it to… I was not terribly productive. Outside of writing I got a lot accomplished so I won’t consider the day a waste.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Hopefully write a lot more. I think I can do it if I put my mind to it.

No writing progress made. I gave myself the day off and spent some time hanging out with my best friend. Then I spent the evening watching a movie with my boyfriend. It was a lovely change of pace.

• Today’s word count: 14
• Thoughts: It was hard to get back into writing today. I’ve had an odd sleep schedule lately, or rather a lack of a sleep schedule. My body turned on me and forced me to nap and made me a groggy, unproductive mess when I was awake. Add onto that the snow storm we had yesterday and I was very distracted.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Writing writing writing. It’s going to happen. I know it.

• Project: Inbetween
• Total word count: 146,405
• Today’s word count: 132
• Thoughts: My word count still isn’t spectacular, but I’m starting to feel like I’m getting back into the story. I suspect that my willingness to take Friday off was probably a sign I was getting a little burned out. I tried to ignore it and suffered the consequences. I’m going to try to take better care of myself going forward.
• Tomorrow’s goal: More writing, but also other creative things to take my mind off writing a bit more than usual.
