Day 104: More sick days

-
The haze from the California wildfires has been very bad lately, and yesterday and today, my allergies have acted up and hit me with a very bad sinus headache. So I am taking a couple sick days. Man, this is really very frustrating to be incapacitated this way. I want to write!

    I'm so sorry about the wildfires, allergies and headache. I couldn't write AT ALL last week due to a never-ending migraine, so I sympathize. I'm really enjoying your writing diary. I pray your head feel better. Take it easy!

Day 783: Evaluation 7

It’s been almost seven months since I wrote my last Evaluation 6 , but I finally got around to Evaluation #7! Here’s the gist of what I’ve learned over the past few months about my writing and productivity. New schedule My IBS was slowly been starting to feel better recently. I am still extremely strict with my diet, but I am also starting to experiment with what foods I can and can’t eat. I have also started a new eating and sleeping schedule, which I have dubbed my “chrono-diet” because I’m trying to take advantage of my circadian rhythm, according to the book Change Your Schedule, Change Your Life (I had borrowed a copy from the library but I enjoyed it so much I went ahead and bought it). I have started waking up at 6 am and exercising first thing, then having breakfast after exercise. I do house chores and/or work until noon, which is when I eat lunch. I’m supposed to not eat until dinner around 5:30 or 6, but I haven’t been able to break the habit of snacking in the aftern...

I went to a conference last week and praise the Lord! my IBS didn't act up at all while I was there. Of course, I was downing digestive enzymes like they were candy, so that probably helped. I thought I'd have more intestinal issues after I got back from the conference, but surprisingly, my bouts of pain and nausea haven't been too bad, not enough to prevent me from working for very long. I kept up my dictation streak while at the conference, although in hindsight, I probably should have just decided not to write during the days of the conference and during the travel days. However, since I was dictating into my phone, it was very easy to just whip out my phone and dictate for 5 minutes in order to keep up my streak. It's a lot easier than using a voice recorder and then taking the time to feed it into Dragon on my computer, although it's not quite as accurate. I finally got Dragon installed on my computer, but I haven't set up my profile yet since I want ...

Procrastination or visualization Earlier, I was a bit disappointed in myself because it took me a while to get started writing today. I wasn't entirely sure why, but I putzed around and procrastinated a bit. It frustrated me because I felt like I just wasted time, and I really wanted to figure out why I did that. I felt like if I could just figure out what my problem was, I could get rid of my habit of procrastinating before starting. But then I realized that one of the reasons I procrastinated today was because I was starting a new scene, and I needed to take time to visualize a new character that was appearing. I also had to figure out how to start the scene, because I had not made that decision when I wrote the blocking notes. So even though I was frustrated that I was procrastinating, in hindsight, I was actually taking time to think about the scene beforehand. I think I need to stop looking at that as wasting time when it was obviously important visualization work that I...
