Again I have put myself in a difficult position: The story needs to be finished by the end of the month.
That's 4K words/day.
Luckily, I have a bunch that just needs revision.
Once I get everything fixed up, I'll update with my new word count requirements each day.

I suppose, if I buckle down, there's no reason I can't get 4k/day even if it does come to that.
Time to build back up the writing muscle.
