I got up ready to get started writing, but of course I was still having issues with the thing that stopped me last night. It took me hours to get past it this morning.
HOURS.
But I did. Finally.
It’s 7:10 pm and I’ve written 1,093 words today.
Here are my Gleeo time tracker entries. (Super easy to export from my phone to .csv and Dropbox so I can access the file quickly here on the computer, delete a few excess columns, and copy/paste it here.)

Not great, as you can see, but I’ve done worse.
Anyway, the day’s not over and I don’t have to get up early tomorrow, so I’m going to keep going for as long as I can tonight. :D
And as for the thing, well, I can say honestly that I am finally over it and the writing is going pretty well all things considered.
I’m not going to have to scrap the 4000+ words of material I was afraid I’d have to scrap if the pieces of the story didn’t join up where I’d gone back and taken things in a bit of a different direction. I just need to make a few changes to account for that change of direction for the parts that happen afterward that I had already written, and I think it’ll be okay. It’s shouldn’t require much adjustment, just a timing issue mostly.
If not, there’s always the delete key. I refuse to get bogged down at this late date in the story. ;)
