Despite taxiing my mom to the doctor way too frequently, I’m making progress on my option book. There was a point where that white screen was mighty intimidating.

Wow, it’s been a grueling month with revisions, compounded by my mom being very ill. Not so easy to stop in the middle of edits (especially if it’s one of those intense scenes) and rush to doctors and hospitals.
