Just as it says on the tin!
Really sorry. I've been writing all day but I got seriously messed up by not getting ANY sleep when England v Mexico was happening at 4 a.m.
I was determined to sleep and to get back to normal so I selflessly decided I wouldn't even think about the match. Que Sera Sera to the extreme. I got a bit of rest but then our outdoor cat wanted to come in for a snack and while he was eating I went online and the big story was that it was 2-1 at half time and I ended up following the minute-by-minute in bed and it was STRESSFUL.
Now I understand how you guys feel, lol.
The other thing is that my wife just announced that she is going to bed, halfway through reading the first draft of the first 80% of the chapter. This delay is not her fault but she's our quality control so I'm going to work on it for another three or four hours and take her feedback in the morning.
ALSO I listened to my entire Soccer Supremo 1 audiobook over the weekend and it's good that I did because I found a couple of issues. One can't be fixed (German speakers will hate it, heh) but the others have been, I'm told, so I'm going to quickly check that and for the first time ever, UNLEASH an audiobook. More on that soon.
All this to say, I have been working on this story 10 hours a day and the chapter is still late. I know it sucks and I'm soz. (It's 10,000 words and I haven't even got to the key match.)
(I just read this out loud to my wife and she sighed and said, 'I shall take the brunt of the blame' like she's a medieval hand of the king. And she saw that SWI v COL is happening and she said, 'Who's that? Switzerland against Columbo?' So yeah, I think we're both pretty tired.)
