I didn't do that intentionally, it just happened. But it means that I'm back to being only as behind as I usually am, which is to say, I'm on track except that I do my writing after midnight, so I'm always technically a day behind. But if I keep up my 2,200ish words per day streak that I've been doing, I think I should be okay.
Maybe.
Probably.
More importantly, my plot is in shambles and I have no idea how to make it recover. Should I attempt to publish this at some future point, this part of the story will not need to be rewritten. No, rewriting is not extreme enough. Rewriting implies that even the basic structure that is there now will remain. No, a tune-up will not be sufficient here, nor will buying new parts.
The car must be scrapped, and a new one of a different make and model, purchased.

I should be able to finish at 50K today. Most of mmy original story is still there, but i had to sacrifice about %10 of it to make it to the 50K mark. At least i'll be satisfied to review it someday when i'm totally bored of videogames someday.

Yeah, this is the approach I ended up taking. I bullshitted a thing just to get the plot moving in the correct direction again, while leaving room for me to go back and add stuff there to make it actually... make sense.
Word count: 44,079
A side effect of the above is that the plot can now be resolved sooner.
Like, a lot sooner.
Like, before I was about 10% done with what I wanted to achieve, and now I'm at like 90% because of my bullshitting to get the plot moving again.
this isn't even the entirety of the story. this is just one plot arc.
i'm pretty sure that this story, told the way i want to tell it in full, would be like two million words long.
i'm not even joking

I'm trying to draw on those adventure novels where the main antagonist was some BS like "the environment" or whatever, and transplant that to a less realistic setting.
The actual named villains are almost incidental.
That said, i am still a bad writer.

If i ever get to write this book for reals one day, i definitely wanna proof-read it. i enjoyed writing it alot.
As for Villains, I liked my villain when she was behind-the-scenes and ignored and mysterious, but came back with a big surprise in the end, if not somewhat predictable.

...Speaking of which, I'm at 49,007 words right now and even the heavily, heavily truncated version of the story I want to tell probably requires another 10,000 words. So that's awesome. At least I'll hit 50k though. >_>

Going to try to get some motivation again, but that's going to be hard now.
