NaNo: Day 9

Starting count:  21,543 words
Ending count: 25,006 words

That is 3,463  words for day nine. Not my best, but this was the hardest day to write. I think I hit a wall of not wanting to take the time to write. There are so many other things I need to be doing, important things, and my mind tries to tell me that writing a novel is a waste of time. It is not going to pay the bills or make me happy. It just feels like it is in the way. I know this is just my mind screwing with me, but I really wish NaNo was over so I could have free time for me, not for writing a vanity project.

Worst of all, I am pushing myself to the brink. In nine days I have hit the halfway point. That is too much and I know it. But I can;t help myself. I want to hit 50K so I can throw my hands up and say I am done. I can always come back to this story, make it better, and fill in the gaps. But right now, at this moment, I just want it to be over with.

Grr....

(Though, this wall of OH GODS WHAT DID I GET MYSELF INTO WHY AM I EVEN TRYING is normal, too... you're hitting it early because you're driving yourself.)
