I think I'm going to be completely useless today. I didn't sleep a wink last night, and finally around 7 a.m. I gave up and tried to write. After two hours and nothing on the page and lots of spacing out I'm giving up on that, too. I'm not feeling too horrible about it, though. Yesterday I wrote all day long and well into last night, and even though it was on fanfic instead of the novel (bad Jean!), I feel I deserve a break.

Of course, this means that tomorrow I'll have to step on it and probably write all day again if I want to finish chapter 13. Which I do. I really need to step the drafting stage back up to two chapters a week, especially if I want to finish the first draft by November, which I also do. The story's starting to feel about half-way told, so I think that deadline is pretty doable. If I can stick to two chapters a week, that is.
