So Far Behind

I am so far behind on my word count that it's not even funny! I'm feeling very overwhelmed and not at all sure where to go or what to do with my novel. So, I'm going to take it one step at a time. I am currently steeping myself a nice, hot cup of Castiel's Butt. I will write my words for today (1,667 words). Then I will pause and re-evaluate where I am at.

10:38am I finished my first 1,667 words. That means I am no further behind today than I was yesterday! Yay! I also spent 15 minutes cleaning the house. I started a load of laundry, and the laundry room is clean. I tidied up the kitchen (although the counters and floors still need to be tackled). I also picked up the soda cans that were lying around the house! Now I'm making myself another cup of tea (This Makes Me Very Happy), and then it's time for another 1,667 words.

Around noon I finished another 1.667 words, which takes care of yesterday's word count. Then Ari wanted to watch TV for a while. So, I started doing some meal prep and worked a little on cleaning the house.

I've definitely gotten more caught up. I've written over 7,000 words so far today. However, that means that I need to do over 6,700 words every day for the next four days if I want to make the 50,000 word goal. With work, that is highly unlikely. So, I need to pound out as many words as I can before going to sleep tonight.

I was hoping to get the house cleaned today, but that is looking distinctly unlikely thanks to my writing needs. Still, if I can get another 5,000 words today, that will be very helpful. I'd like another 10,000, but that just may not be possible.
