NaNo Rule #15: Don't Compare

I have this obsession with trying to beat my word count from last year. I'm behind... That makes me annoyed, but it hasn't helped to push me beyond last year's count. Maybe it was beginner's luck that got me through last year.

The bottom line is: comparing isn't helping.

This is a new year. A new book. A new idea. And now I have to accept: new words and therefore new word count.

DAILY WORD COUNT: 1,575
TOTAL WORD COUNT: 25,443
