all hand written (train again!) and transcribed. Probably should have pushed another 800 tonight, but I’m content to have made goal for today, and added some more make up to Tuesday.
also, it’s going a bit more smoothly.

ooh this one has been pulling teeth today! Had wanted to reach my day goal this morning, so that anything on the train or tonight would be catchup for Friday or Tuesday. But I’m still 400 down and I need to get ready. Must put butt in seat again for 20 minutes before I leave. Maybe knock out a description or two.
squeaked in tonight. I’d like to have another 3k day tomorrow because next week looks to be really busy, AND it’s week two, the week of drudgery.
Already now I can feel the week two doubts coming in: my characters are inconsistent, my dialogue leaden….
but somehow i’m feeling excited about the story.
it’s far too late for me to still be awake… it’s going okay. I’m somewhat behind, but not so much that I’ve given up hope completely.
I’m finding it easy to write about 800-1000 words per day. Anything above that is very painful. Althought the first 400 words are definitely the slowest. I think if I were to give myself 45 minutes to an hour every day, I could really get some work on.
Also, I couldn’t write on Sunday. I needed the day off. So I’m thinking I will need to do that every once in a while. I’m considering taking Sundays off in general.
I have about one chapter done (20 pages, or thereabouts). It’s 7051 words–and I’m supposed to have 10003 by today. Oh well.
I haven’t given up yet. I hope, even if I don’t get the 50000 words, that I don’t give up at all. The story just might not need that many words.
