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.

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!
