Published Chapters Not Loading

Earlier this year I revived a story I started 16 years ago. I finally get to the last couple chapters where the plot is emotionally devestating... and of course I get a comment today 40 minutes after publishing from a reader who can't get the last two chapters to load for them. So I go back and I also can't get it to load, but it shows up in my story preview. Turns out I can access the chapter from the drop down but not when hitting the next arrow. Of course FFN would glitch out on me right now. UGHHHHH. Sometimes I hate this site. This is why so many of us have left for AO3.

For months I’ve told myself I was burnt out, and to some degree I probably am. But I think I’m realizing it‘s not quite burn out and more just the realization that I’ve surpassed what I need and can pull the trigger at any time.

Which has probably just made me hate my job since I require so much travel and time away from home. I see other internal job postings and almost none of them excite me, I just want to be home with my dog, go for walks, stare at my garden, and cook dinner so it’s ready by the time my husband comes home. At some point find something part time or volunteer so I can talk to people. I’ve literally backtracked from a motivated career woman to a wannabe housewife.

So I gave myself until Christmas this year because I think the thing holding me back is not having a firm date. I’m gonna take my annual bonus money and run. This post is to hold myself accountable more than anything.

Facts for people who might ask:

Both 38, married, no kids. No debt (own house free and clear). Avg Monthly burn $3500-4000. Husband will still work, has a pension est $40k/year after he hits 55.
