Okay, there’s the ‘I’m a dick’ answer which is “I like to make people (especially my roommate) suffer.”  And there’s the ‘I’m a writer’ answer, which is “The next good break point was going to be like five pages down the line and this chapter was already longer than my average goal for this story.”  And then there’s the ‘life is time-consuming’ answer, which is “I wanted to get the chapter out before I was a billion.”

I mean, take your pick, they’re all perfectly true.
