Just a quick update tonight.
Here's the state of my upcoming piece: I've gone to war with this thing. I've been battling it all weekend. It's beaten me up pretty bad. I'm structuring it in acts, just like I did with the Losertarian piece. There's going to be six, plus a prologue.
The prologue and the first four acts went along really well. I took my time with them but the flow was great. I was in a flow state. And then I hit five and six. And I hit a block. I started thinking maybe I should only have five instead of six. I wrote act 5 and threw it in the garbage 5 or 6 times. I just couldn't get it right.
I couldn't land the plane. I took it off quite well. We were flying. We were flying high. And then I had to land it and I just couldn't get it to stick. But then it clicked.
It clicked hard. It clicked so hard it almost brought me to tears.
And so I need another day to get this right. There's going to be six acts. I can feel the weight behind this piece as I write it. I'm nervous about releasing it. That's just the truth. It's usually a good sign, in my experience.
I've thought about almost nothing else for the last week. I hope it earns the trust you have put in me and the time I have put into it.
I promised you Monday. It is going to be Tuesday morning instead.
stay close,

P.S. The members are hanging out in the lounge right now. Every Sunday night at 7pm EST. This is going to be a new ritual that I try to maintain. Come and go as you please. Sit in the room with me and chat. I will be adding features to the lounge as time goes on to make it a better experience for us. That's my writer/software engineer skill stack at work, as the late great Scott Adams would say. I want you in there... stopbeingprey.com/membership
