I have three days’ worth of word count thanks to Life happening at a denser pace than usual. You have written SO MUCH this year. NaNo is arbitrary fun; don’t beat yourself up if your brain’s reservoir needs to refill for a little while. *hugs*
oh, no, see, that’s the thing– I have things to write and I want to write them! Which is why it’s a dumb self-destructive urge to be like No, I Won’t Have The Most Words So I Shouldn’t Have Any At All. Like, no dude, I’ve written nothing this month because I haven’t had time, and there’s been all this shit in my head that wants out and I haven’t had time. I suppose I could designate this a No Writing Month to punish myself for not being more caught up on a bunch of other things, but I honestly don’t think I need punishment like that.
I think I deserve to sit and maybe let some words come out of my head, and if they won’t come, I have a list of other things to do, and maybe i even deserve to not do anything in particular for a little while. But it’s not going to do me any good to put rules on it either way.
