Frustration. I have been on the edge of finishing this story for the past couple of days, but so far this week I have fallen asleep soon after sunset, managing only a few hundred words at most. Feeling tired again now, hoping to manage writing this time without worrying about dozing through the early evening
I suppose it makes some sense. With the sleep I have been missing I finally ended up crashing very early and waking similarly early. ~0400 this morning, so I have been up already for most of a 'waking day' and probably should consider myself effectively in late evening not long for bed, though the sun still is up.
A few days ago I wrote a contradiction into the story, something to sort out in revision and rewriting. And what of what has happened since then? Here is where frustration enters, because we have not enough progress to say of what was written. Let's fix that; adjusted my environment to better suit the heat of summer and feeling very improved.
After finishing this story I may take some time away from focusing on writing, November and all. I have a couple of assignments and tests over the next couple of weeks and unlike some other people I do not have demonstrated the ability to do writing and homework over the same days if either is to make a good showing.
Next year I hope to be working, which may be tiring, but I am also hoping my time off-duty will at least be mine to use. I am however going even further off the idea of any NaNoWriMo participation beyond 'push beyond my goals and see how far I can stretch myself'. As this year is one of consolidation the idea of beginning yet another project when I have so many already languishing is not appealing, even if it would be over with in a month. Not guaranteed, that 'if'.

*snugs you*
