The Crawl

So, after about a week of serious productivity on my novel, the slow-down has come. Over the weekend I wrote less than 3,000 words. Each one is struggling to come out, not wanting to be placed on the page. Since I am writing without benefit of any sort of outline, the plot is also fighting with me, not blending as well as I wanted it to. Some things I didn't see have occurred, but as for where to go....

But I know the solution; keep writing! No matter how difficult it is, I've found over my past 5 years of NaNoing that taking a day off always interrupts the flow more than writing a few laborious passages. Hopefully the story will get easier in the next few days.
