Day, um, 6 or something? I've lost count?

ysobelAmazingly, good sleeps make it so much easier to write. 557 words in about half an hour's time, which seems to be my general best pace. And I'm not done with the day.
I was a lot less cranky when I woke up this morning, having actually SLEPT last night. Especially since my total wordcount is only a few hundred behind the 1667/day average; I keep comparing it to the 2k/day goal count, where I'm basically a day's count behind, but that's silly. Well. I alternate between thinking that, wordcount be damned, writing every day will be my own personal nano victory (so that even if I only get five hundred words a day from now on, leaving me with less than 20k words, I still have defeated my own personal "just give up" demons), and thinking that zomg I must get the 50k or it Does Not Count.
Obviously, the best thing will be to write every day *and* get 50k. Though that does not allow for any off days, or busy days, or holidays, and it doesn't allow for the fact that I have gotten rusty at the whole Writing Words Down thing and it's kind of like running a marathon when the best you've done in the last few years is walk to the mailbox and back, except for how it's not quite the same, but still.
(I am a touch babbly. Can you tell?)
Willdefinitely probably hit 10k this weekend; with luck, today. Which is a fuckton better than I've done the last few years of NaNo. So go me \o/
ETA - I horribly miss, however, the things that one can do with a laptop. Like tilting my chair back, instead of sitting up straight. Or like going outside, where it is nice and sunny, and writing there. Or going to write-ins. But I do not have a laptop and I haven't figured out how to get back to writing longhand (there is logistical issues, namely the fact that my writing-dominant hand is so close to my stomach that notebooks etc would have to be intersecting my body for me to write on them) and so I am stuck with what I have. Sigh.
