Being an author is like being in charge of your own personal insane asylum.

Yesterday

... was simply hellish.

It took me literally all day to write my daily target. All day. I finished the last word at 4:48pm - about three minutes after I was supposed to start cleaning up and closing shop for the day.

It was the single most sluggish day of writing I've ever experienced. I hated every minute of it. I'm praying that today goes better for me. We'll see, though.

Otherwise, things are going well. Well, well enough.

I've realised that I do not need to write 3 000 words a day every weekday to hit my target. In fact, if I stick to my regular schedule of 3 000 words a day every day except Friday, I should still reach the NaNoWriMo target of 50 000 words by the end of the month.

So, I think in the name of sanity, I'll be just doing my regular thing. I'll find out at the end of this week if it averages out. Right, I should get writing.

With the pace at which you write, you ought to get a free pass some days. This week has been really difficult for me to write. I hope I can catch up!

I hope you can as well. Perhaps it's just the week. I don't much feel like writing today, so it's probably going to be another slog.

Good luck to you!
