might not look like it but I’m dragging my feet rn. this is the first stretch in writing this novel that I’m feeling the strain. writing in the same style and voice for tens of thousands of words is inevitably going to feel stale after a while but I really have felt like I am barely stringing words together. they feel so lifeless.

I’m still doing it though. no other way to get it done. a little behind schedule but still wildly close to getting this first draft finished. the work that needs to be done to that draft is intimidating. but the worst is almost over. home stretch babeyyy, the novel is REAL!!!!!
