Yesterday's word could was bad yesterday, but it was saved by the work I did past midnight the night before.

How do you other writers keep going everyday? My average is 2-3k a day, but today I've only written 200. I am struggling to find motivation when my depression hits.

I need advice.

I have been slightly depressed today, which is good because I had to write a chapter where the Female MC was depressed. Life works in funny ways.

I think its very nice when you're depression flair up the same day you want to write a depressing scene. Gives you the perspective on how characters should feel or act.

Today is slightly skewed in the add/remove count. I had to rewrite the last 2 chapters since I switched the MC weapon from bow to sword.

Like I said, today's stats will be skewed since I transferred the last 4 chapter into the new editing software I'm using.

Excited to be almost 70% done with it!

I edit as I go, so I hopefully when I give it a final read everything will fall into place!

It's so frustrating trying to write for a character I never intended to have major dialogue. I have to find their voice...

This is my first book, but I have went over the chapters so many times that I think my self edits will be pretty minimum.
