I've been stuck just shy of 10,000 words for days and days now, and every night I think this will be the day I cross the mark, and then there's tweaking and deleting and it doesn't happen.

But the 10,000 word mark isn't the big problem--I'm confident I'll hit that before the rough draft deadline--the big problem is trying to figure out if I have enough time to finish the whole damn thing before the final deadline. I'm currently slightly optimistic on that point, with a side helping of crushing doubt.
