Update 21 - Dissonance and a slow NaNoWriMo

Well that could have gone better. I’m about 40,000 words short of where I wanted to be for my Nanowrimo project. I found myself frustrated that I wasn’t hitting the daily goal consistently. I let life get in the way, and life happens. I worry, however, that by letting life happen I am not pushing hard enough. My writing habit has certainly improved to be almost every day, and the flow is better.

I feel like I’m making up justifications for not hitting 50,000 words by now. Maybe I am, but that’s unnecessary. Nanowrimo is almost done, and that’s alright. It’ll come around next year.

I got to spend time with my family over thanksgiving. I felt happy around them, but directionless. Vacations are always awkward that way. I was grateful to spend time with people I loved. The writing is important, but it’s secondary to other living things. I think.
