It's okay
I've tried to be as dedicated as Jane:
But I just can't do it. I don't have near as much to my committee. I'm moving house. I've got other things pressing on me. Working like this fucks me up.
So I'm ditching the deadline. I'll finish. Maybe a week later, maybe a month later, maybe two months later. It's okay.
"I am writing roughly from 8 AM to 10 PM every single day. Later when I am facing a chapter deadline. I have filed 240 pages with my committee and will file the final 160 later this month, I hope. Although that will probably entail writing until 1 AM instead of 10 PM."
