Passed the 10k word mark today! Woo hoo! Unfortunately, though, I did not hit word count—I think missing it by so much yesterday really took the wind out of me. Struggled a lot with motivation today, so chalk up another one to Resistance. But 1.4k words is a heck of a lot better than nothing!

I do wonder what it’s going to be like at the end of the month, though. We’re going to be on the road visiting family from the 19th through most of the 30th, which means I’ll be doing at least 20k words on a Kindle Fire, if not more. That’s not going to be pleasant. So next week, I’m going to shoot for more like 3k or 4k words per day, in order to make things easier later on. And I don’t know how much I’ll be blogging.
