Week 5 of the 8 week writing boot camp begins - this week the theme is 'Psyche Exam'. Writing needs feeling! But how to tap into it? And how can you keep yourself feeling good in the process? Please

::narrows eyes:: my mate said this week was hard 

UM taking stock

TOXIC BULLSHIT YEAH it’s the same in science :wheeze:

“feckless trash” Looool - fun fact I finished my PhD through spite.

One of my favourite things I’ve written actually draws on something I’m bitter (but okay) about, like an entire story asks one of the questions that I’ve come across a lot. 

OH this is really cool! Embarrassing af but cool! 

PS I’m hungry 

RIGHT. SENSES.

He approached, footsteps loud and uncaring down the hall and she drew in her breath [XXX????] as much as she could, not daring to move a muscle. [wait no rewind breathe to get smells] A stench of mildew [wtf???!?!?] rolled off him and she hel

“Don’t. Ever. Come back here. Do you understand me?” He shrunk back even further and jabbered some form of apology, god X could smell the piss streaming from him. “/do you understand me?!” 

Still no movement to leave. Too late. X had him by the throat in a sea of red [?!]

Going back there. She never thought she would given the difficulty of seeing it... what? The same? Just how X would have? The same stalls in the market with the same mishmash of ethnic [lol] food, the same bustle and joy. Or to see it changed, developed into those quirky coffeeshops with locals who could not afford ()asdasdasd

--

“Not here...” but her caution lost its force, she made no move to loop back under his arms and instead they stared deep, passed his own reflection in her eyes and felt himself fall forward with every [husky?!?!] breath he took find her lips again

--

Salt air, the warmth of the first peek of spring Sun both hit her face and she almost yelled in delight. No one had told her about the smell, or the noise! The water - so much of it! - crashed and smashed and dragged it’s way against the pebbles. It reminded her of her weekly bath 

I seemed to avoid grief and got sidetracked lol genuinely not on purpose

EVERYTHING IS HARD! I CAN’T DO ALL THE SENSORY STUFF OKAY IT’S SO HARD IDK WHY I EXPERIENCE IT IN MY HEAD and I think I over focussed on trying to get /any/ of that out rather than the emotion :|. Gaaaaahhhhhhhhh I really need to practice that so much because I read it perfectly in other people’s writing and I know how important it is I just don’t have the muscle for it and it vexes me so much...

Yesterday's Run

I went in my run yesterday, but I struggled a lot. Some of it was physical but most of it was mental. I was scared that I wouldn't be able to finish because I haven't ran in a while, so I stopped half way through and took and extra rest. Also, I was running with my boyfriend and he was running faster than me, so I felt like I was failing and it was really messing with me mentally. I am looking forward to doing this run again now that I know that I am strong enough to finish it.

Einundzwanzigster Arbeitstag

Heute war unser einundzwanzigster Arbeitstag. Die meisten Aufgaben sind schon erledigt, das nächste größere Projekt, das ansteht, besteht aus dem Errichten eines neuen Netzwerkes in einer Schule. Jedoch werden höchstwahrscheinlich erst nächste Woche damit anfangen. Unsere Aufgabe für heute bestand darin, Computer sowie Zubehör mit einer Druckluftpistole sauber zu machen und anschließend die Teile zu transportieren.

SHRED Progress Report: Week 5 Day 1 (Cleanse Week)

Oh boy, this week does not look fun.  Not only do we have to add ground/milled flax seed into our daily routine, but we also must try hibiscus tea and 100% pure cranberry juice.  Just when I got used to the lemon water...

As I type this, I'm eating Meal 2 which consists of a large green salad and about 8 oz. of chilled hibiscus tea... so far, so good.  I've learned to enjoy salads more and the tea isn't as bad as I thought.  It's a really pretty red color and the taste is light with a hint of floral.  I like it a lot better than the lemon water with flax seeds I had this morning!  The flax barely dissolved so I ended up with a lump of it at the bottom of my cup.  Instead of doing that again, I'm going to try adding flax to my smoothies the rest of the week.

I'm most nervous about the cranberry juice since we weren't able to find 100% pure at Kroger.  The best we could find was 25% not from concentrate cranberry cocktail.  I know that's not the same, so I may try another store.  I just don't want to screw up this week and have to do it over again :)

OK, so more updates later this week!  In the meantime, my stats:
