Yesterday was another low day, both in mood and writing. My daily target is creeping up slightly, to 1,932 words. Still within reason but I’m not happy about the lack of progress the last few days.
An economy of words.

Good progress today, making up for last week’s shortfall. Making bullet point outlines of character/plot has been useful in figuring out some pacing/plot arc issues and giving me things to write that I hadn’t even realized I needed. I’ll need to do a massive reverse outline come December, though. Stitching the various plots and subplots together will take some work and much rewriting.
The last few days haven’t been the most productive ones. If I were to go by the official NaNoWriMo stats, my current estimated finish date is December 4th and I just won’t accept that. There are weekends, holidays, and writing sprints between now and then. Anything can happen.
Not a great day all around and I was feeling pretty crummy about it, but as a wise man reminded me, 300 words is still 300 words closer to where I need to be.
Winter, as they say, is coming and appropriately enough, I celebrated it with a London Fog Latte (Earl Grey tea, a shot of vanilla, and steamed milk).
