There’s a scene from “Scott Pilgrim vs the World” (one of my guilty-pleasure films) that has Scott asking his roommate “You know what sucks?”
”What?”
”Everything,” responds Scott.
It’s a stupid little scene during a time when Scott is still fundamentally unlikable. But it resonates, because sometimes… sometimes everything sucks.
Right now not everything sucks, but it feels like it occasionally. My home life is hard, my work life is hard, my attempt to bring balance to the Force is really hard… nothing is going the way it’s supposed to go.
Upside: I’m now at 77K words (THAT took forever) and the novel is this close to being first-draft finished. So that’s something? But everything else?
Yeah. Not so good.
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
