Today was… unproductive. I wrote approximately 500 words. And while I’m a few days ahead of schedule, falling behind like this is not a habit I plan on getting into. I have a sketched outline for the next chapter, so that should help get me back on track tomorrow when I sit down to really get at it. I’d like to be at least around 14,000 by the end of tomorrow. It’s certainly not an impossible goal, but it’s a little lofty. I, however, am going to accept it readily.
I shouldn’t be making excuses for procrastinating in my writing habits, because excuses lead to the demise of this project, but today was genuinely amazingly busy. I had very few moments during which I could sit down and churn out a good number of words. Tomorrow is significantly more free, so I should accomplish much more on the story front! I might write a couple hundred more before I hit the hay, but I apologize for day four’s uneventful entry!
Day five will certainly be more exciting, I promise! I will be plot brainstorming while I’m not writing, and hopefully will come up with something brilliant.

Hey, kiddo. Keep at it! You’ve got the drive, and you’ve definitely got the talent to finish this. Just use your imagination and what you’ve learned. I’m very excited for you!
