I managed to write 1595 total new words this week, not only hitting my initial goal but also making up for last week’s deficit, which was my secondary goal. I’m really happy about this. Being behind is something that can easily drop me into feeling like a failure, and it’s hard to recover from that. So jumping back in and catching up entirely is a wonderful thing and a good skill for me to practice.

It’s especially triumphant because I have for many years played World of Warcraft, and this week a new expansion was released, which meant both Mr. J and I spent a good amount of time playing in the newly opened content. That was a lot of fun, but of course it’s important that the fun not keep me from pursuing my writing goals.

I hope everyone else is having a good week too! Here’s the blog hop link for today’s check-in.
