..two steps backwards
I'm way behind on my NaNoWriMo word
count target. The official website mentions the week two doldrums,
and I'm definitely a victim. And I don't even want to think about
PiBoIdMo – I've had some picture book ideas, but the motivation to
write them down on paper is at about 'meh' level.

Part of the reason my motivation has
faltered is that my NaNoWriMo word count went down instead of up.
How? I decided to split one chapter into two, copied and pasted, then
forgot to delete the duplicate text. So what seemed to be a
particularly productive writing session was followed the next day by
one in which I literally – and literaturely – went backwards.
