Day 14
Week two is coming to an end and it's been a mixed week. It started well. I focused on my protagonist and worked on a couple of pivotal scenes and they just kept expanding -- I loved it. I had to make some serious consideration of where I want it to go, though. But the weekend came and it became harder to work on the WIP because I felt exhausted and unmotivated for some reasons. Emotionally I wasn't there. I felt like a balloon with its air being let out -- it's a cliche but also exactly how I felt.
So, I didn't meet this week's quota but that's okay; I'll make it up. The more important thing is I'm still committed to this. Tomorrow is a brand new day, and a brand new week, and I know I'll work through it.

Keep up the work! I too want to read the resulting work.
I don't really HAVE to make up. The reason I'm doing this is to keep myself going so I allow myself to slack if I have to, but I want to keep it going. So even if I don't make up what I didn't do, as long as I continue to write and meet my quotas, I'm okay with that. After all, I only need another 50K, maybe, to finish this book. I'd be very happy when that happens. Then I can start on my next novel. That's that plan. The actual word count is just a way to motivate myself, to have some kind of concrete goal.
