The NaNo Logs - Vol. 2, Chapter 3

I am now a bit more than halfway through my novel, and things are beginning to wear me down.  I'm still having fun with the story, but it's the matter of keeping ideas coming that's becoming a chore.  Normally, I'm bursting with new ideas, but the consistent use of creativity is making writing an increasingly difficult task.  I'm getting further behind on my word count, but not so much that I'm ready to give up yet.  Add to that the various worries of my personal life, and it makes for a situation where my muse is off drinking at the airport bar, when they should be attending to my creative needs.
