I'm encountering several "problems" as I write.

1. geography. I moved across country, then lived in my parent's basement for two months while looking for a house and starting a new job.
   
   
2. deflated expectations. My adviser lost the chapter I submitted and told me after a month and a half to revise and resubmit it. That sucked a little energy out of my sails.
   
   
3. New job. All my stuff was packed up.
   
   
4. I work in a cubicle now. Lots and lots of interruptions. So I need a writing space.
   
   
5. Total fear--what if my adviser shoots down my first chapter? Then I'm hosed. I lose my house, my family, our nice little neighborhood, everything.
