Everyone is going to hate me for this. I hit the 70,000 mark today. Of course, I don't currently have school or a job to distract me. It also helps that my natural writing pace is pretty fast. I'm sure I'll have a lot of editing to do once I finish.
I am so far behind!
I've written a total of 10 words in the last couple of days. I'm exhausted from hardly any sleep and stressful days. Really hoping to get back to my wriying either today or tomorrow...
Sneak this into your book and you can add 39 words to your word count.
But in all seriousness, I spent the day slacking off on everything just to catch up on sleep. You have plenty of time left in November for NaNo, but you need to take care of yourself first.

And.... my word count is now 17,000. Over the last week I went from being 2k ahead to 4k behind...grr. At least now I'm back on schedule.
I agree. Somedays, you just need a day off and not to feel bad about it. If I hadn't taken yesterday off, I would have struggled through a 1000 words yesterday, and then felt the same way today and had the same problem, and it would have just kept going until I finally took a day off.
Instead, today I feel rested and refreshed and ready to go. I ended up turning out 2,400.
If you need the rest, take it.
