You know, the usual

Total: 9,220 words. I won't win in the sense of getting 50,000 words this month, but this has gotten me back in the habit of writing every day, which is a huge win in and of itself.

Yesterday was 1200 words and my first day over 500 words. I'm struggling to get back on the daily writing train. No zero days though, so there is that!

4233 today (finally a big one!)
13669 month to date & 8002 behind
17 days to go so I need to make up about 470 words a day for a total of 2140/day
we'll see.
Another couple of 4k days would certainly help!

Day 14: 30,183 total. If I can maintain this pace I might actually finish the rough this month, but it'll be a push.
The rough? For someone who's normally a 1.5 draft writer, that's a depressing phrase, but as the mystery is taking shape, there's going to be some continuity problems--also, the story is moving fast enough that I'm not doing a spectacular job on atmosphere, so the normal continuity pass will include atmosphere and voicing issues, which will make it a proper draft 2 I think.
Glad to have you all along! Still fighting the mental fog.
Congrats on re-establishing the writing habit, Holly!
Solidarity on the diet, Ed. I'm down over 50lbs over the last year and still shrinking. It can totally be done.
Jim...Covid? Eek! Here's hoping the forest redoubt holds fast up here and nobody brings the virus in. This is certainly not something I want to get.
