So, I'm not exactly back on track, but I am leaping towards where I should be for the month. I'm currently at 10,694. You can see this over on yet another new thing I added: my progress calendar. Green dates are days where I reached goal for the day; red dates are days where I didn't quite make it; bright green represents days that I did exceptionally well; and bright red those where I did exceptionally badly (but none of those yet!).

I'm starting to feel pretty mean about my poor main character's sufferings. Each chapter is about a funeral in her life, so all of these happenings are to be expected, but I don't know. I just finished a particularly crazy chapter about a nightmare of a funeral, mostly because I couldn't bring myself to kill another person. It's coming along, slowly but surely.
