The goal trackers on the NaNo site are nice in theory, but kind of clunky in execution. Yesterday I wrote 2,959 words, despite being sad as hell about the response to chapter 9. I’m a bit better about it today, if still frustrated, because I just… don’t have any feedback. I can’t tell if people didn’t like it, didn’t read it, or just didn’t comment. I can’t shake the feeling people didn’t like it, and not because it was angsty, but because it was bad. Which is pretty painful because at first I hated it, and then I thought I really fleshed it out and made it something good, and now I’m back to hating it again. I think it’s probably a good thing I’ve been prepping myself for NaNo so much that it feels like a real commitment, or else I might have just thrown my hands up in the air and been like “well fuck it, we’re done here.” I would have talked myself into working on it again eventually, but this is a much quicker return to the bike after falling off, metaphorically speaking. Instead I’ll just complain melodramatically.Anyway, tonight I’m going to try and write JUST 500 words, because I think I need to let myself have a couple days to rest before I go full throttle for nano proper -- source link
