I managed to do the thing I couldn’t get working on Friday, so that’s like work, I guess.

Read: Cece Rios and the Desert of Souls (Kaela Rivera): Secondary-world fantasy based on Mexico and Pokémon, befriending the hated, punk hairstyles, horrible monsters lurking in the desert, very disappointed parents, curses that aren’t curses, cute somewhat age-appropriate guys and no action whatsoever.

NaNoWriMo Words: 10005 + 1444 = 11449! I finally remembered that I had a Pomodoro-type app on my phone (Be Focused is the one I have, but there are a jillion of them) and tried it, and it turns out that knowing I should focus for 25 minutes and then can take a break works out a lot better than thinking I should focus for 12 hours and then focusing for none of it. Who would have thought that this technique used by millions of people to enhance their productivity would actually be helpful?!
