>tl;dr books about accepting death
My cat is 20 years old and it's dying. The only thing he does is lying on his blanket and moaning. The vet told me his organs are already failing and he has about a week of life. His eyes are so white and without any light, I don't believe he can see anymore. I'd really like to read something interesting about a character who learns that he's dying and has to accept that - it can be on a positive view like "I've wasted my time so now that I'll die I have to compensate for that", but I'd rather be something more mundane and philosophical.

How to deal with a chapter not being as good as you've imagined? Keep rewriting it or keep going and leave it for editing? The moment I finish a not-that-good chapter is the only one when I think about giving up and that writing isn't for me.
