Slow progress...

I have no idea how some authors can write an entire story in a month. I'm 6000 words in for my LOR, but I have no idea how many of those words I'm going to keep. If I were just writing a day or short time period of an already established couple it'd be easier. But I want to tell the story from them meeting to the prompt. And I want it to be cohesive and mostly believable ;) I'm struggling with a few scenes that will determine the overall voice of my story and am not sure which way to go. The deadline is messing with my head, too.

I'm confident that in the end it will be a cute love story but getting there is hard. I just need a cup of tea and a day or two to refocus.
