Thank you, it did take me quite a long time. I think over three months of work at least, working for about 20-80 min every morning (either reading or writing).

At some point, I almost gave up (the text was messy and I was missing the red thread) but then I reminded myself of how proud I'd feel for finishing it even if no one read it.

Luckily, I weirdly enjoy the writing process even when it's hard. So I think that made me stick with it.
