I'm now 293 pages into the second draft, which is 14 pages since the last update. I dropped the ball this week and almost didn't reach the minimum 10 page goal. I wrote some pages hours before this update, which I've never done before, and because of that I hit 14 pages. I felt more tired and procrastinated more. I did manage to finish another short segment and set up another one. I think I have a harder time writing chapters that don't focus on characters from the first two APs. Also, my mental health declined because I wrote a lot less. It seems my mental health is dependent on how much I write in a week. During the Brazil segment, my mental health was a lot higher since I had consistent good writing weeks. Before the weekend, I didn't hit the 10 page minimum and I almost felt like giving up on the book. Having my mental health tied to my writing progress isn't really healthy, but this series is the only thing I got going on for myself right now. I think I need to find other ways to boost my mental health. Gaming is helpful, but it takes a lot of time away from my writing. Or maybe I should replay the Modern Warfare trilogy that inspired AP, and maybe it can inspire me again. Or watch a few good action movies. I don't know.
