so, for those of you who don't know, i am working on a sequel to my first novel (which was semi-completed back in 2020). and i have been organizing chapters and pre-written stuff and jesus fucking christ why have i done this to myself
unfortunately, the first book is ALSO undergoing heavy editing - I changed a significant chunk of main protag's backstory, and it turns out something like that can have major repercussions on the current draft! so I am basically in ultimate writer hell where the first book is now back to being unfinished, the sequel is.....well. and i still have the third book in this little weird trilogy looming over my head with absolutely shit nothing to work with except one single 1500 mini-fic and a dream.
anyway, don't let anyone tell you that this writing shit is fucking easy, good god.
(i often wonder if this situation would be different if i was, like, a full time paid novelist or whatever, and then i forget that notion because in my opinion that "dream" job would actually be a living hell, the way i function)
