I’m trying to recalibrate my writing now that I’m yet again in the second half of the novel. I’m trying to be slow and methodical about things, so when I finish, I will just have to work on the first half of the novel.

I’m feeling very uneasy about things going forward, just in general. I’m really beginning to worry that Something Big is going to change in my personal life that will dramatically change the context of me working on this novel.
And, yet, it hasn’t happened yet.
Maybe I can at least squeak by this year before the bad shit really starts to kick in. But I do need to fish or cut bait with this novel. I’m trying my best to really be careful about each scene in the second half of the novel.
And, yet, at the same time, I can’t just be lazy and drift — like I usually do — towards my goal. Once Claude Sonnet 5.0 comes out (tomorrow?) I hope to really throw myself back into things.
Thinking about Sonnet 5.0 has kind of got me distracted, more than I would like to admit.
