11/15

Today's words: 2340
November words: 14,276
Total manuscript words: 20,344 (past 20k!! whoo!)
Today's bracket count: 46


I'm going for a mid-NovMo catch-up weekend! Friday/Saturday/Sunday with the goal of not getting *all* the way caught up, but cutting into my deficit significantly.

At the start of the day, I was about a full week behind (✨11,402 words to be exact✨) I'm hoping to be about 6-7000 words behind by the end of the weekend :)

So far I'm pretty close to being on pace for that and I'm hoping for another good writing day tomorrow!

Still mostly on track with my catch-up weekend goal! (now 9994 behind, back to under 10k! lol)
I managed this big word count today in a couple of 25 minute sprints (I wrote over 1000 words in one of those sprints which truly shocked me because I usually can't write that fast). BUT THAT'S THE POWER OF THE BLOB DRAFT!

Not quite as much as I wanted today, but at least i hit the daily word count goal!
I also loosely plotted my way to the midpoint. The pacing is almost definitely off and it's all very wonky and held together by clear tape, but I like the direction it's going!

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much all of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
