I thought I would have plotted out my story

by the end of this week but instead,

I’ve trailed off into other things.

I still want to reach my goal in the word count for this week

but I’m not sure if I’ll even be able to do that much.

My story is a bit of a mess.

I’m still not sure about a few things

but I’m glad that I found some new and interesting things

to add to the story.

And there are a few things that need to be changed too.

I wanted to write a novel-sized story last month

but making a complete short story would be as great as well.

My laptop is acting slow and

I think I’m close to my word count goal

but the site that I’m using to keep track of

how close I am to my goal is taking forever to load.

I have about two hundred words to go before I reach my goal.

I wish it all went to the story idea

but at least most of the writing I did this week went to that.

It takes longer to reach the goal that's just a few words away. Why is that?

Probably because I’m writing aimlessly now.

I wrote every other day this week.

My goal was 14000 words, which was double last week's goal.

I should have written two hundred words a day to make it easier for me.

But this sort of worked out anyway.
