Happy Halloween, everybody!
Writing is hard. As I type this, I'm procrastinating a bit. Sometimes, it's difficult to peel yourself away from your work. Even if you wish, it could be easy to do so.

I'm about twelve thousand words into my current manuscript for my upcoming book, which is roughly halfway through the length of my previous book, which was around twenty-seven thousand words, I believe.
Twelve thousand within a month of releasing my first work, as well, which is shocking and a tad worrisome. I keep asking myself whether or not I'm rushing this work. Still, it flows quite easily onto the pages, so I have that instinct to trust, as well as my brutally honest mother and best friend, who are fans of its current quality but also vocal about its flaws thus far.

I'm at a stagnant point. My head hurts when I write despite my fingers wanting to continue. I have all the story points in my head—beginning, middle, end, points A, B, C, and D—but I'm struggling to connect those to the point of physical pain in my mind and concentration.

I hope this blood post finds you well. I'm new and unaware of how these things are typically supposed to go, but I figured an update to those who follow me would be nice to release. Despite my challenges, just know my next entry is on the way. I think it's a real nail-biter so far, and it'll be novel length (Finally, at last!)
