Bluebeard Mini Dissertation Part Two - Day Four


I have got to the stage where the essay is a huge mess, tangled with quotes and sporadic, poorly-spelt observations.  Hubby and Prodigal 2 have been out visiting friends, whilst I have major writer's block at my desk.  Also - sometime between now and the thirteenth, I want to plan out two other essays, write a story for the portfolio and maybe understand Post Modernism a bit more too. A tall order - AND I want my bloody car back.  It has been off road for nearly four weeks and at the garage awaiting repair for another two weeks.

1,561 - and I haven't even expanded my observations coherently, nor have I added any academic essay quotes/book theories.  Easter hasn't helped much either.

When I read these posts... I end up needing badly to tear my hair! And gasping with the neeeeeed to get stuck in and clear it up.. (OCD problem that is) but gosh you do make me feel... exhausted!

I know you will have it all piled neatly into the right corners of your head... and it will be all managed around all the other 'stuff'.

So good luck, and I am going to take the afternoon off and sit on a cliff and just look at the beach! (walk a bit too!) Leaving brain in parked car! teehee.

Wow - l didn't realise that it could have that kind of affect on people. I know that it might seem that I make a meal of it a bit, but mostly it's because the tangle is inside my own head. Because of the other circumstances with Hubby, I am finding it doubly hard to concentrate and maybe I am projecting that without realising it.

Do you think it would be better if I take the academic diary entries out of the Friends Feed Loop?

NONONO...NO.. !!! Don't do that!!! It's super for giving us lazy sods out here, a picture of what a real writer who intends to 'Go Far' has to do to travel there!

I do enjoy them, and feel for you. I know I should never be -- could never be bothered to do so much... so it makes me admire you very much.

And I just couldn't do what you do with a book. I do try... but unless it grips me until I have to just mull and think, then to analyse it but just ordinaries -- can't be bothered. I should I spose...but I'm so afraid of running out of time!!! At my age one rushes rather to cover all the ground one has missed...

And then I find myself going for long silent bookless thoughtless walks upon an empty beach! (today! aahhh)

I thought of you tho. I did. I try to remember ALL my LJ friends who would love my beach.

Please don't stop...oh please, not!! Keep us 'informed' in the other sense of the word... teaching us!
