Day Ninety Six: Things Looking Up

Published on December 16, 2025 at 3:37 AM

Today has seemed to start the slow recovery process from the last few weeks. 

We had to pull ANOTHER all nighter, but this time it was for a good reason! We had to do a shit ton of amazon returns before the holiday rush starts and we had to stop to pick up some medication. Then we solidified our Yule time plans with the family. Then we finally went to sleep for a few hours, but not we are once again up late at night. 

It's literally 2:45am right now and there is no way I'm going to bed anytime soon. I'm not even a little sleepy and I haven't written a single word all day. Aaaaaand I did NOT get to the 5k words I wanted to yesterday because I was dealing with other things that came up and ended up needing my immediately attention. 

I'll try to write today and just try to get through the manuscript without having to worry about the word count for a moment. I feel like I'm a little stuck in the book even though I literally have a written out step by steep blow of the rest of the chapter. Like literally written out and just have to put it into actual sentences now. Maybe that was the problem? But no, it can't be that because the writing block was WAY worse when I didn't have this plan. 

It's just hard because I'm at the middle trench and it is freaking hard. Like I thought that I knew what the story line was going to be but then the story went off in a new direction. Maybe I should take a second and figure out my new outline? That would be smart, honestly. Buuuuuuut I can't count it towards my word count so ugh. But it is probably super necessary for me to be able to keep going. Or am I procrastinating? Who knows lmao

Lmao that is my dilemma, is what I'm doing helping, hindering, a complete waste of time? I don't know, I'll just keep trying doing what I can do.
