I stayed up all night every other night for the last month trying to finish the book. Then two friends told me to stop, that I was clinically exhausted.
They were right. I was beat. So yesterday evening; wait. No, two nights ago, I went to bed at 7:30 pm and woke up at 12:30pm the next day. I slept for 17 hours straight. I don’t think I had ever done that before. When I woke up yesterday, I vowed to not put deadlines on myself with books because I’m not good at predicting how long it takes to finish them and because things come up that need to be in there that I hadn’t thought of.
What did I do? I stayed up all night again because I slept so much yesterday. That’s why I’m writing you at 6:59 am here.
It’s a hard habit to break. Even that will take time.
The bottom line is I am close to the end but I don’t want to give you another date and miss it. I want it to be a more complete book this time and much better after all this work. I keep telling myself it will be a better read if I don’t rush it together also.
I just wanted to let everyone know. You’ve been so supportive of me these last two years.
When I’m done, I will let you know loud and clear.
Thank you.
You will assuredly be more displeased with yourself for leaving things out of the book, than any of us are for having to wait. It’s worth the wait, to have everything documented, because you are writing the history that won’t be written in any mainstream media. Take care, get rest, and be gentle on yourself 🤗
Take care of yourself Reid. It's been a long 4 years...
