I can balance out the 'doing well' - I'm -10,000 today. Starting again (again) but this time I really actually do think I have it sussed. Plot was wrong, characters were wrong, pretty much the whole thing was in a mess. Hoping to get a few words done on version 4 tonight.
483 yesterday, plus some tearing-out and putting-back-in. I've never dithered this much about a WIP before. My self-confidence is kind of shot. I need to just plow forward.
Basically I'm making my excuses now so when I miss my 10k a month target I can point and say "see, told you I wouldn't make it".
But then we wouldn't notice. (Yes, you're now making these cookies for all of us.)I do make rather good ginger biscuits (if I say so myself). Although baking would take up more writing time...

Just for the record - this is my 2000 post!!
PS: I just wanted to say that after feeling extremely upset about something in another room, I tried to leave this forum for a few days, but missed you guys. You are priceless!

I wrote 2300 words yesterday before breakfast and then got a request to deal with, so I spent much of the rest of the day putting together an outline of my book. 3434 more words. If you count that, I got 5734 words for the day! Yay.
Have a great write,
Lucie

It's hard to keep going sometimes, but you can do it, HJ
Don't forget that Mama is vegan.
So... what song?
There's no right answer to that, is there? If I say one of my own I'll be indirectly forcing myself to post links, and if I say someone else's my musical taste will be up for critique!
... a-ha! The answer is: "What song would you like to hear?"
