Last week did not go to plan. It wasn't too bad, still got the requisite 8500 words in. But we had visitors over the weekend and I struggle to write if it's not completely on my own terms. At present my boyfriend is ill, and as such hanging around watching TV. This makes it tricky to concentrate as we have one big open plan house so I can't really shut myself away from interaction.

I've realised through the course of writing that I need to work on continuity. It's funny, with my writing I seem to go through peaks and troughs of confidence. One minute what I've written is the best thing in the world and everyone sucks but me, the next I suck and I should just give up now. At the moment, I'm in a trough.

I'll try to do a writing prompt next week, though grinding out my words is my current focus. It's 1 month until my 30th, and I need a first draft by then.
