I almost didn’t write this tonight.

I had two breakdowns today and I am exhausted. Most days, I really just want this story to just finish itself.

But here I am, determined to show you that we can do hard things.

You don’t have to be perfect. Just show up each day with what you have and love yourself through it.

So what did I do today?

Given everything that has happened in the past few weeks, I am proud to say we made it to 20,000 words.

I am scared that each day I am falling behind, but I want to keep going.

I want to see what happens with my characters.

Word Count: 20,243 words.

See you tomorrow, friends.
