First 45,000

So I sit here wondering idly what to do next. The first 45,000 words came out in less than a month, not pushing too hard. A few places I had to stop and do a little bit of research, but thats bound to happen every now and then. But progress has slowed. I have gone from a steady 2-3000 words a day, to 3000 words in the past 4 days. I feel lazy.

I haven't lost interest, and I haven't lost the plot, but everything is taking minutes to come out where before it took seconds. What happened? I feel like the pump has been cut and now all that comes out is dribbles. grrr! I say.

1049 words so far today, and I have been awake for 12 hours! I suppose for some people that would be acceptable, but I was accustomed to my pace, and now I must rant out my frustration. I had planned on having 50,000 words out by the 1st of Nov. Perhaps tomorrow? A staggering 5,000? It could happen I suppose. Perhaps I need to do more research.?Perhaps I need a break? Perhaps I like to say perhaps?

My cat is insisting that right now my lap is the best place to sit, and so is trying to push the laptop away. Amusing.... Perhaps I should pay attention to him.
