Getting Whupped

Last night the NaNoWriMo site was down. This may have been a good thing because I’ve been torturing myself comparing my progress to that of my writing buddies.

Here’s the thing. I’m getting my butt WHIPPED.

I’m ahead of where I should be—I’ve already met today’s word count. I’m on track to where I want to be—2000 words a day. My little progress bar chart is proceeding nicely. I have a few light red days on my calendar, but I have some bright green days, too. I’m making steady progress.

But some of my buddies have THOUSANDS more words than I do. Several of them have hit the 20,000 word mark already, including Natalie and Kelly.

I shouldn’t let it bother me. I’m where I should be. But my competitive streak is taking a beating.

Might I humbly (and probably annoyingly) suggest you just stop looking at your buddy list? :)

Yeah, I had to. I was just getting massively overwhelmed. Doesn't help that I'm behind 3000 words now.
