After somehow managing to hit my daily word count goal throughout this roller coaster week, I got a bit stuck yesterday. I'm still on target for the end of the month, but I'm struggling with this story. I sort of know half of it, and I've got a handful of characters I'm getting to know.
But I'm really struggling tonally. My three space operas are pretty traditional in narrative voice: third-person limited (ish), past tense, with multiple POVs. My most recent finished book is first person (mostly) present, with two POVs, each with a distinct voice. I've been writing this one more like the space operas, and I'm not finding the mood I want.
Really, I think I'm colossally burned out. NaNo is usually a chance for me to throw off expectations and write for fun, but I've got this shadow of "you need another finished MS, Liz" hanging over me, and I'm feeling like motivationally I'm missing something. I'm feeling like the only reason I still write is because I told people I would.
