• Thoughts: I said I wanted to write. I wrote. I said I wanted to feel better. I didn’t. This cold is kicking my butt, but it is kicking my inner editor’s butt even more. That part isn’t so bad, at least until I decide to revise.
• Tomorrow’s goal: More writing. Kick the cold? Maybe revise a chapter. We’ll see what happens.

• Today’s word count: 280
• Thoughts: Today was more of a struggle. Colds wear me out. With energy levels low today, I just could not produce as many words as I would have liked.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Hopefully the cold will be over and I can get back to writing without a foggy brain.

• Today’s word count: 155
• Thoughts: Still sick. Still trying to write. It only works well when it wants to work well. Today was not one of those days.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Hopefully feel better and write a lot. It will be Friday, though, so I’m not sure what will get done at all.

• Today’s word count: 53
• Thoughts: I showed up and wrote despite it being Friday and this cold having me in a downward spiral. Instead of staying up and trying to write more, I’m going to bed early.
• Tomorrow’s goal: More writing, I hope.

• Thoughts: Still sick. Still trying to write. I didn’t make much progress. I’m trying not to be hard on myself about it. I’d rather recover than write at the moment.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Write if I feel better. Do nothing if I don’t.
