I'm on the verge of giving up on my NaNoWriMo novel.

I reached 25,000 words yesterday - the halfway point - which means I now am faced with the task of writing the same amount again (63 pages, by the way), but in half the time. But that's only one half of the problem - I also despise what I'm writing, and a voice in my head is screaming 'rewrite this, start again, it's deeply flawed'. Which it is. It's terrible, and that's not me being modest. But if I restart, I'll never finish in time.

Whether it's possible to overcome both of these obstacles - one real, one psychological - I don't know, but I have only six more days left to find out.

Possible upside: if I give up, I might actually start writing site updates again...
