Monday and Tuesday were dedicated to being a parent instead of writing. But I'm pleased with the progress made on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, especially considering that I have an hour less of writing time each day compared to my schedule during Nanowrimo.
I'm hoping that I can make some more good progress next week before the holidays hit. Once the kids are home, the word counts are going to go down. But on the plus side, I'm always itching to hit the keyboard by the time they head back to school.
I'm in a much better headspace than I was at this time last year, which I'm grateful for. Even though there are still plenty of challenges and obstacles, I feel more ready to face them than I did in December of 2017.
I'd really love to take another five or seven days dedicated to writing Division rather than having to split my attention between my day job, my family responsibilities, and my writing career. But there are no plans for another writers' retreat and realistically, I need the income from my day job right now. But it doesn't stop me from wishing and keeping my fingers crossed that 2019 might hold the change that will allow me to move to being a full time writer.
