How do you survive, Glaurung? Not only survive, but be productive?
I hate the heat.
Since each year heatwaves are a constant where I live, and can last up to several months, I busted my ass during lockdown with the rewrite, and now I'm slowly (stress on SLOWLY) finishing the very last chapters of the second book, which will be more than I anticipated because I have to include how Noctis and co reached Insomnia, which was included in an obscure side mission in the DLC Comrades (sigh). In Westeros there's the motto "Winter is comming", well, we have "Dog Days are comming".
What I do each Monday or Thursday is give the weekly chapter one last pass in terms of grammar, plot bunnies and typos. That way I can at least maintain an appearance of productiveness. But most of the time I'm floored. Sleeping is nearly impossible with an average of 30ºC at night, so we use the hours after lunch to at least have a quick nap. The siesta is a bare necessity down here ^^;
