Novel’s at 12,104 words.
I’m seriously behind. About 18,000 words behind, to be more specific.
Trying to tell myself that every word written is a victory, and it’s enough to just have the novel started. That works. Sometimes.
And sometimes I just want to take the day off work, so I can write.
Because I’m also looking at the short story I’m supposed to revise, the previous novel I should be editing, and the one before that that I should be sending round to more agents.
I put all that on hold so I “focus” on NaNoWriMo. But if I’m already slipping behind on this month’s writing, maybe I shouldn’t have?
How far behind am I going to get on those projects, while I struggle through this one?
