Why did I say "again"... One all-nighter, and it took me several days to recover. My whole rhythm is messed up.
Yesterday, I said I would write the second chapter, but after getting a little over a thousand words down, I couldn't keep going and just collapsed into bed, sleeping until dawn. Today, I sat down at the computer a little after noon, determined to write at least 8,000 words, but now I haven't even reached 2,000. I just can't get into the groove, clicking here and there in front of the screen, and before I knew it, the whole day had passed...
I haven't been this painfully stuck in a long time. I'm going crazy!
There are still two plotlines left in this volume. I'll sort them out properly again.
I'll get up earlier tomorrow and keep burning the midnight oil. I don't dare promise how many chapters I'll update. You really can't fight age, and I've already prepared the red envelopes...
