I finally broke 5000 words mark. We're almost at the halfway point and I've just got 1/10 of the total done. So, this year will be a loss. I'm oddly OK with it and that's the first time that's happened.
The cold is still hanging on. I am feeling rough today. My chest is congested and I am coughing and my nose is still runny but I think less so. Doesn't matter. I have to keep going. The good news is that I'm making some progress getting the story completed. Of course, it is going to need tons of work. Not sure it is even worth finishing.
Yeah, I'm at that point. You know the one where you question ever dot and tittle. Yes, that is a word. Where you mutter as you write, "This is junk. No one will read this garbage. What was I thinking?"
Still, I like the story and with over 75,000 words it would be stupid to stop now. It will be done. I dread revising it. But I'll do it.
Truth is, I want to feel better. I feel so bad today that everything seems bleak. I know that's the cold but it really sucks.

I think I'm saddened that you have a miserable cold - and glad that you have a story that wants to be told!
