Today is Monday and the third day in. My word count, as it stands, is 10,205. I'm just going to look at that number and let it sink in for a while.
The most bizarre thing about this word count -- and it certainly isn't the number, there are countless people with much higher word counts! -- is the fact that I'm actually pretty darn pleased with what I've got. My characters are, more or less, doing what they're told, and I've been hitting the milestones I set for myself. Yesterday was more of a filler day, but the story's still very much on track and it was all relevant.
I think I'm just going to continue to do 5k a day until I burn out and need to lie in a dark room for several hours.
I expect that will come sooner that I think it will.
