• Thoughts: Well, I wrote one whole word more today than yesterday. That’s something. I’m just having some trouble settling in and really focusing on what I’m doing.
• Tomorrow’s goal: I have a feeling it is going to be more of the same, but I’m going to do my very best to get some writing done. I can’t wait to see what I can accomplish.

• Thoughts: I wrote a little bit. It wasn’t much. At least I wrote something. It wasn’t the worst day I’ve had lately. It just wasn’t particularly good.
• Tomorrow’s goal: The plan is to have fun at the park with my nephew. After that, I don’t know what I’ll end up doing. Hopefully I’ll find some time to write.

January 4

No writing progress

It was a chaotic, but good day. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

January 5

No writing progress

It ended up being a really good day even without writing. I spent a ton of time with my boyfriend. We’re making the most of his vacation week. We took a walk and rearranged the garage. Busy, busy day.

• Today’s word count: 9
• Thoughts: I wrote! It wasn’t much. I knew it wasn’t going to be much. We ran our usual Friday errands and then I spent a lot of time trying my best to make the most of one of the last days of my boyfriend’s week off from work. I think we’ve been doing a good job of balancing getting stuff done around the house and having fun, but my writing has suffered some. I know I write better when I’m alone and can control my distractions and I haven’t been alone much this week. Things will go back to normal soon and hopefully I’ll be more productive.
• Tomorrow’s goal: As long as I write something I’ll be happy.

• Thoughts: I was pretty thoroughly distracted again today. It was a good day. I played a video game and a board game. I got a bunch of chores done. I watched a movie. It was a pretty wonderful last day for my boyfriend’s vacation. I just didn’t manage to make much time for writing, but I did make some time and that’s better than nothing.
• Tomorrow’s goal: I’m going to be busy. There’s a ton of stuff I want to get caught up on around the house even after today. Hopefully I will still find some time to write at some point.

• Thoughts: I wrote. That’s what I wanted to do. I barely did it, but I did do it. That counts for something, I guess.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Let’s see if I can write more than today. Shouldn’t be hard, right?
