I really felt overwhelmed by the lack of substantial progress in my writing last week and when this week started, I had my doubts I would recover but I did in terms of word count. Still behind on chapter count. I think the boys being on vacation most of the week took a toll on nerves too (mine and my dad’s – arguing over stupid stuff). Just a long and exhausting week that somehow saw stuff getting done.
