Night Manager, Shades of Magic, Dissertation

[bratty_jedi]

I'm caught back up on Night Manager. I'm enjoying it. I promise I'll get back to my moral dilemma post at some point and hopefully more thoughts on the series overall. Maybe when it ends. Or when I magically find more hours in the day

The document really is kind of cool and exciting. I actually felt like I knew what I was doing with this whole history thing! But I'm just so deep in finishing that I'm overwhelmed with everything so it's like super exciting and super frustrating at the same time which makes all the stress worse because I feel like nothing is good enough and I can't be happy even when I'm doing cool things because I'm just behind. Always. No matter what I do. Write 15 to 20 pages in a week? Not good enough because didn't get through enough of the outline or didn't write 50 pages or whatever. I know that's just part of the nature of the beast and everyone in the heavy drafting gets this way sometimes so I'm just trying to keep trucking, but it is exhausting.

Thanks for the encouragement. :) I know I'll get there and I'm not actually worried about not being able to do it or it not being good enough (right now anyway as that varies). It's just the time pressure right now.

Good luck with your writing! 5k words would kill me right now, I think. I'm barely getting started at 5k. :)
