Take a Day Off, Guys.

This is probably the first time that I’ve asked for leave since I started writing this book. Alas, I wanted to get through this period of depression, but I haven’t been able to finish the first chapter to my satisfaction. I know that I must sort out my thoughts and clear my mind completely.

If I could finish the first chapter today, I really don’t want to ask for leave, but now I’ve been sitting there for almost four hours looking at the 3,000-word manuscript, and I just have no idea. I feel helpless.

Go out for a walk, feel the river breeze, and clear my mind.

I hope I can at least recover half of my usual writing state tomorrow.

If I’m still not in the right state, I’ll use my ultimate move and write all night!

The inspiration at night is always better than that during the day, but I still hope I won’t reach that point…
