Forgot to check in last month, but the progress is very slow anyway. 😅

I’m pants-ing a “pretend negotiation” plot that I have to be careful not to branch out too much, so it takes longer to get into the zone because trying to consider the different possibilities at the same time is mentally taxing, and so my mind will do everything it can to not work… 🧠💭 The writing is dull, but I must put the words down as first draft, or they’ll never get written. Thanks for your patience.
