I really need to shut up about working on this novel. I’ve simply talked so much about this project and it’s taken so long that I don’t even know why I keep mentioning it at all.

I should just do it in private and not tell anyone where things stand until I’m finished. But I am 100% extroverted and sometimes I just can’t help myself. I need to let off some steam by just giving a general sense of where things are with the massive project.
At the moment, things are going ok, I guess. My biggest problem is how slow everything is going. And I continue to worry about not just my own fate — I’m not getting any younger — but the fate of the country. My fear is just as I’m wrapping up my first novel, the country will collapse into civil war, starting WW3.
But hopefully (?) we’ll just turn into an autocracy instead and I will at least be able to publish my novel in Canada or something.
