Well…I came a little bit short of my outrageous goal to write 10,000 words this weekend. But 6,400 isn’t bad. I got past some really difficult parts in my novel and I can almost see the end from here (next time, I’ll have to do a better job outlining so I can see the end before I get past 100,000 words)…

Writing…is…hard…ugh!
And it doesn’t help when you’re sick. Yeah, I think I’m coming down with something. It’s kind of…demotivating.

I was wrong…
I have come to a realization about self-consciousness and writing…
A new hypothesis on the infrequency of dating
