I've been stuck in editing hell all year AARRRGH I want to write something new! But I have to finish this asap or else I never will.

I've been editing the same chapter for three days and I'm still not sure if it's that great. Could there be an even better way to say the same thing? My head hurts. I just want it to be over. Fuck my life.
