3115 words. What am I supposed to be aiming for? 50,000? hahaha

I should be at 18,377 by the end of the day. I'm currently just over 14,000 but your 3115 makes me feel like so much less of a slacker. Thanks, Zenkitty!
That's what I'm here for! To show you what a real slacker looks like!
I'm at 7302. I don't think more is really happening this month, at least not until I finish painting my house, but even the little I did really helped me push through some stuff I hadn't figured out. It's the making myself write every day that I find useful, moreso than the word count, though trying to hit the wordcount does help turn off the internal editor.
My internal editor dropped dead from excessive eyerolling sometime last week.
Heh. Well done.
My internal editor may finally be dead. I base this on the fact that the Kraken now has a monocle and a British accent.
There's a reason for it, though. Really.
Let's drink to the death of our internal editors!
I discovered another helpful dice trick. If I get stuck I roll for a random spot in my text and start typing additional details for that scene, or dialogue, or what a particular character is thinking.
I just got my old friend Kind!Rejection. Which is certainly better than Formal! Rejection. But still sucks in its way, and then you get to thank your rejector, which always feels a bit messed-up, though it probably is the Thing to Do. And there is a crass little person inside of me that's like "How perfect do you want this? You can't even pay me anyway."(And I don't even know where that comes from. Hand to God, this isn't about the money for me. But I like getting paid sometimes.)
