I have taken yesterday and today off work because I have the flu. I have no energy, and I can barely do anything other than sit at my computer and stare at the screen for an hour or so before I need to crash in bed again.

Honestly I ought to be using this time to do something productive (like actually writing my novel), but I can’t bring myself to do it. I don’t want to feel like I’m letting myself down by not doing writing today. Especially as I didn’t do much writing the past two days either. But I also want to focus on getting myself better.

My other big concern is that I’ll give up on my writing early due to a rubbish start to the month, and I really don’t want to do that. Hopefully after spending today resting I’ll have a little more energy to write more tomorrow, and then I should be able to get back into the flow of my story.

I did have plans to meet up with someone tomorrow, so I hadn’t put in a big word goal for the weekend. Now that I’ve had to cancel my plans, I ought to be able to catch up at least a little.

Even so, I just want to get back to writing it, which I guess is a positive because when I’m finally feel able to sit down to write my novel I’ll be excited to do it.

How is everyone else’s first week of NaNoWriMo going? Because mine certainly hasn’t gone to plan.

Until next time,
Love, Bobbi. Xx.
