I am struggling to write chapter four today. This is the seventh day of Novel Writing Month and I am having difficulties writing today. I started chapter four, but I have not gotten very far on it. I do not know what is wrong. However, my inner critic is acting up and I am having problems getting past the first page of this chapter. I have written over 5,000 words and I have about 4,500 words left to write. I have not written the amount of words I wanted to write up to this point. This is the seventh day of the Novel Writing Month, I had intended to have over 7,000 words written up to this point.
OK, I am looking on the negative side of things. I know this is just a speed bump in the process. It will pass, it is just not passing fast enough. I have to look at the end of this processes which will be a novel. Now that I have written the problem out. I will go on with the chapter. I am too critical about my own writing. I have a tendency to rewrite while I am working on the uncompleted writing project. I do think of things that have to go in earlier chapters when I am working on the present chapter then I go back and add the stuff.

Hang in there and keep writing. I did 'nothing' for five days and am rolling again. I love what you've written so far and want to read more!!!

Can I make a suggestion? Don't think about writing, don't edit, don't evaluate, don't even work out the bumps or figure out if the plot works ... just write, focus on writing, type anything, just get 50,000 words and then edit on Decembe 1st. We're in this together ... go go go!!! You can do this; I know you can!!!
wow! i am still writing chapter 2 lol... you go!!!!
You did it! I saw, you finished 50,000 words in 30 days. You are incredible! Although I knew you could do it anyway.
Now, I want to read it ... as soon as I can, because it sounded so interesting!
You are the bomb!
