Counting Every Word

 
I hit my planned word count today (3000). Which is good.
 
But … nearly 600 words of it was my first attempt at starting a new chapter in GoSH1 (chapter 3, specifically). I decided what I had written was unusable. If it had been just a paragraph or two, I would've deleted them and moved on. Nearly 600 words, though, I couldn't do it. That was 20% of my daily goal. So, after a minute of pondering my options, I just hit those awful words with strikethrough and started over at the beginning of the chapter.
 
So, yeah, I wrote 3000 words today. With an 80% effectiveness rate. :-)
