Do you know how, sometimes, you’ll be trying to get on to the highway, and the on-ramp will suddenly jink at the last moment, forcing you to decelerate at the exact moment you want to be going faster?

Just as I feel like I’m setting a good pace, I have to take several stressful weeks off from my writing to focus on, you know, keeping my job.

And that gets me to my second point:
