Torn...

So, I'm excited and disappointed at the same time.  I just wrote 894 words on my novel in less than an hour!  I'm so excited about that, I was on a roll!  BUT that only puts me at 5086 words total.  At this point, I should be at 23,334 words.  I'm so bummed.  I didn't even get a chance to write at all yesterday either, so that put me back as well.

What I need is "Time" and I can't get that back.  So, I'm stuck with a goal of almost 3000 words per day in order to finish my novel's rough draft by the end of the month.  And with a two and a half old baby, I just really don't see that happening.  BAH!

Ah well... guess it's nose to the grindstone time!

meh.
