Thingies

It's no where close to fully done though as I have multiple entire chapters that I want to add and multiple drafts ahead of me (a bit much for something that can't actually be released but I don't care) But any way, here's the explication I promised you

I originally had this long well written thing to explain everything but I accidentally deleted it so here's the revised version. In the days between june 4 and june 11 I was very busy, doing such things as going nine hours between my grandma's house and my about six times, going to my brothers graduation, helping take care of a stray kitten with worms (and got into TADC one day after they stopped showing the last act in theaters, does that count?). I got 0 words written during that time period and that put me behind a butt ton, it was weighing on me a ton and writing no longer felt any fun at all, but just a chore that ate away at me every day I doubled my daily word count and it still wouldn't have been enough. So on june 18 (I think, don't quote me on that) I sat down and rearranged the caldear to discount june 4 through 11 from the day count, and four extra grace I extended the dead line four days. For the first time in a while I sat down and wrote and actually enjoyed it, my word count added ment something, instead of being a chip off the massive word debt.

Could I have done what my writing book recommended and sucked it up and stayed up late every night and blocked out friends and family until my word count was reached? Probably yeah, and this might sound a bit sappy but I think my generation is romanticizing unhealthy things like bad mental states and sleep deprivation for productivity, and I don't want to do that, I want my relationships to be higher priority then the clout of being able to say I wrote a novel in a month. Which I technically still did but I wrote a novel in four and 23 days sounds a lot less catchy.

TLDR: I finished my novel and I changed the deadline for personal reasons.

Current word count: 23,503

In my defense my brother graduated and I was able to go meet my online best friend of 6 years so I was a little busy buttt.

What I should have written by this point: 21,000

What I actually got written: 12,716

Ah, that's... That's not looking so hot, but, I have raised my daily word goal by 500 until the gap is closed so wish me luck <3

I currently have about 5200 word written! (I have done any writing today which is why it's hasn't meeting my word goal for today which is 7500)
