10k 3 days.

I have three full days left in which to write 10 000 words.

This time last year, I had 11 300 words left, a massive 7 500 of which I wrote on the last day.

This year, I'm very much hoping to be finished in good time on the 30th, because the last thing you want if a boy comes to visit is to still have a sizable chunk of NaNoWriMo left to complete.

The problem is that I have hit my 30k slump 10 000 words too late, and even though I'm so close to the end, I am finding it so hard to be inspired to write. It's even worse when this is the ending to a story I have been writing for 4 years. It's been in my head for so long that it should be almost effortless to put into words, and yet, I find myself sitting down to write and hours passing by with only a few new words on the page.

Even worse is how, in reality, my three full days are really only one and a half. Tomorrow, I'm sending off friend who is going on a working holiday, so that;s one day out, and I need to be finished ASAP on Friday.

I'm not without a plan though. I'm going to wake up early tomorrow to write before I go out. I'm going to write when I get home and not sleep until I have hit 43k. I'm going to spend all day on Thursday writing and not go to bed until I have reached 48k. That leaves 2k for Friday morning and to finish the story.

Loosing NaNo is not an option.
