Review and edit until exhaustion chapter by chapter is not working. As soon as I decide to add something or go back for more information, I need to do it all over again. Maybe I have to settle with the fact that I will write a full book as a first draft, and then I…

Struggling with plots in my book. Several stories are happening at the same time, like crossed wires, but I still think that it is not enough for two 500-page books. Which is my initial goal.
