Ok, lets just face it. It is Navember 22 and I have only 11,502 words. This is not fun. I had a good plot, good characters, everything I thought I could finish with. But noooo, my characters wanted to be complicated and learn faster and do everything I wanted them to do WAY to soon!
Excuse me while I bang my head on a wall 
It’s quite possible to write 40,000 words over Thanksgiving break alone, at a rate of 10k a day.
Trust me, 10k in a day is possible. I’ve done it. Don’t give up just yet!
