Day 20 of NaNo
Still sick. Throat hurts more, cough is just slightly worse again. :/ I still *feel* okay, but I'm afraid it is moving in the direction of a sinus infection. (Though we also had a fire that started a couple days ago, and it could be smoke from that and worse air quality responsible for some of the congestion/post-nasal drip stuff that's making my throat and cough worse.)
Planning on going to Taylor's tomorrow night. Low-key hangout time, which should be nice.

Day 20 of NaNo: 1680 words, and an uphill struggle the whole way. Wound up writing the worst version/draft zero/tell-myself version... it's not an outline, but just word vomit paragraphs about what I want to have happen. Definitely not detailed, definitely no actually usable text, just summarizing what I want to have happen in each scene. I did that for maybe four or five scenes? While NaNo isn't about editing, my hope is that on future days I can go back and fill those scenes in with actual writing.
Not sure how I'll hit wordcount tomorrow or Monday, if I go spend it at Taylor's. I DO have a bit more than a day's cushion on the total wordcount, but one of the frustrating ADHD things I deal with is the way that even a SINGLE DAY breaking a longer-standing habit can completely derail said habit. So skipping even one day of clawing out the wordcount could just make me say fuck it, haha. Plus if I skip a day, then I don't get the badge for hitting my goal every single day.
