I know it's Wednesday, but here's my #AccountabilityTuesday update: I have not made any progress on the story since the holidays. I've been in a #chronicpain flare up for weeks now, and can't sit at my desk or get comfortable with my laptop. I have not forgotten the story!

I'm a few #AccountabilityTuesday days off, but I wanted to post an update. I'm getting back from the grieving of my cat, which brought back the loss of my husband. I've continued to write and have reached 52k words.

Hey everyone, I have been MIA for a bit because I had to put my cat down and have been struggling with that. I've continued to write everyday, but it's been only a little amount. I'm not longer on track for reaching 50k in 2 days, but I'm okay with that. I'll continue to write into December.

For #AccountabilityTuesday I'm at 33.6k words in my novel (96 pages). I have slowed down on my daily word counts this last week as my cat's health has declined, but I've continued to write a little bit each day.

Day 17 of #NovelNovember. Yesterday I wrote 873 words. I'm having a hard time getting any writing done because my cat's still not doing well and requires a lot of care.

I haven't posted my #NovelNovember updates the last couple of days due to a vet emergency with my senior kitty. I did get some words in, but not many. Hoping to play catchup this weekend.

End of day 9 for #NovelNovember! I'm at 21.5k Words and short on today's goal. I'm going to try and spread it out over the week since I won't have a single day where I can fully write, but I'll be able to attend group sprints which should help.

End of day 6 for #NovelNovember! I hit 15k and am still reaching my goals. I'm ~20% of the way through my word count and ~30% of the way through my story. I may end up finishing my draft before hitting 75k from the looks of it.

Day 5 of #NovelNovember was a good day to make up for the struggling days. I'm just shy of 13k Words total. It feels great to be making this much progress on a story I've spent so long on.
