Accountability, author's timecard, word count written, feeling lonely out there?

Wow Kali - that is one of the hardest things to deal with. You'll get through, but it HURTS, and you need to let yourself feel that.
Unfortunately, clinical depression is bad enough on its own without anything to actually attach itself to. When it has something to take hold of - just be careful of yourself.
Kali:
Routine is how I deal with it. It's how I keep a handle on it.
For today, I did not make 1500, but I did make 1100 and I'm going to go with being happy with that. The day's technically not over and there's a chance I could squeeze another 400 words out of myself without, frankly, too much difficulty if I could figure out what the next step in the scene is, but I've also taken a sleeping pill to combat the onslaught of insomnia and I think I have about 15 minutes before that kicks in.
On the other hand, what I write while under the influence of generic "sleep aid" might be informative. It could even be good!
Kali:
1700 words today, which is good 'cause yesterday I didn't break 1k. Tsk. I really have to stay on task, here, and stop getting distracted by shiny new episodes of shows on Hulu.
Am I the only one writing? I know neuro's revising.
jeno:
I'm plotting and worldbuilding, with bits of scenes thrown in. I'm getting out around 2-3k a day, but none of it is straight prose. There are a few graphs, though!
Starbeam:
Been typing up the stuff I've written. Typed up about 2500 last night, still have about 3 or 4 more pages.
