Army Wives Chapter Sixteen
🕑 Added 2021-07-09 00:01:52 +0000 UTCHey guys, here's AW 16 a little early. I'm going to Vegas tomorrow and will be away when it comes time to upload this. I would usually schedule an upload in a case like this but I'm afraid it might not go up on time which would set off my anxiety and it just wouldn't be good for anyone.
I wanna apologize in advance if my last releases have lacked something, or felt below par, or if they feel like I've just been "going through the motions." I try to treat this like I would my day job, in that when something is bothering me or I'm going through something outside of work, I leave that shit at the door, and I do my job like a professional. One thing I HATE doing is blowing deadlines. It's something I'm obsessive about. Promising things and then not delivering. That shit drives me nuts. So it's not gonna happen.
I've been going through a breakup. Not a world is ending, complete surprise, lay in bed for a week breakup. But it's just been significant enough to be distracting. Combine that with the trip this week, which I've spent much of the last few days running around trying to prepare for, and... I've kinda been a mess. Like I can't relax. I'm constantly running under a deadline. And usually that sort of thing makes me move faster, and I make it all happen just before the timer runs out, and everyone is happy. But this time it's just been overwhelming. It took me way longer to finish this draft than it usually would just because I'm obsessing over how much time I have left and it's very difficult for me to just stick to the story and bang it out.
These are not your problems. I understand that. And I'm not making excuses. I think you guys are gonna dig AW 16. I did not get to really refine and polish it as much as I'd like to before leaving. There may be a typo or two here or there. I will likely go back to it and refine it. Once I'm back from this trip, and I can fucking relax, everything will go back to normal. I'm the worst when it comes to preparing for shit like this, until my ass is on the plane with a drink in my hand I'm gonna be hyperventilating and running through an itemized list of everything I have to do before I get there.
TMI, I know. Just know that everything will be back to normal very soon. I appreciate you all understanding.

Also, I thought it was clever that the timeline feels blurred, making us feel as though time is flying by, and the pounds continue to pile up as Sinead’s issues continue on being buried by food.
