Not a good writing day, unfortunately. Had to do laundry at the laundromat, due to the plugged sewer line, and I didn’t get as much writing done there as I thought I would (or really, any at all). It was also much more expensive than I thought it would be. We definitely need to solve this plumbing situation, or at least find a better way to do laundry.

Still ahead, but I’m disappointed that I broke my streak of hitting my daily word count goal. Part of that might have to do with the fact that I didn’t return to the WIP, and instead just kept plugging away on the side project. But since I plan to publish this story in January, I also feel like I need to prioritize it a bit.

Anyways, hopefully tomorrow is a better writing day.
