I think they call this stage “bargaining.”

(It’s possible I’m grieving for my sanity.)

Mental Conversation I Just Had With Myself:

Okay, I have 9,000 words left to get to 25,000. What if I stopped now for tonight?

::divide 9,000 by 7::

1286 words per day. That seems… unrealistic, given my daily progress so far. I guess I *could* keep writing tonight…

::divide 9,000 by 8::

1125 words per day. That seems better!

::realize that means writing 1125 words RIGHT NOW before attaining the mystical goal of SLEEP::

::recalculates::

Yeah, 1286 is *totally* doable. BEDTIME!
