25th of June 2019

Good morning, yes it’s the 26th that I’m writing this but it covers what I did yesterday to reach my writing goals. Which was not a lot!

Before work and during my lunch break I did write, but cannot remember how many words I wrote. Then last I came over to my girlfriends for the evening, so didn’t do anything writing wise.

Although I can’t recall the exact amount I wrote yesterday, I know it wasn’t near the 1000 words I needed. Which means that’s two days where I’ve not hit target. This is something I’m not too worried about. Firstly, I’ve got a lot of the year left and secondly, there’s going to be days where I’m knocking out more than the 1000 words per days I’ve set myself. Something I learnt about NaNoWriMo is that if I get a day when I don’t hit target, don’t start the next thinking I need to write mor Ethan the daily target to catch up. I find for me it can weigh heavy on me and if I start having a few days where I’m trying to catch up, I struggle more and more.

If you set yourself a target of a thousand words a day, aim for that regardless of what you may have done the previous day.

Right folks, I’ll be leaving for work soon. Have a super day 🙂

And here’s a random picture of Raven sitting on a notebook a whole second after I’d put it down!

  1. Raven is GORGEOUS! Your advice about focusing on your current day’s goal and not trying to make up for past deficits also applies to (strangely enough!) cleaning house.
