This week I am slowly transitioning back to my regular schedule and it’s been a bit rough. My body seems to just want to sleep - like I could go take a nap right now and its only 10AM in the morning and I only woke up an hour ago. Normally I wake up at around 6AM. So clearly, I am still readjusting.
The good news is I am slowly getting back to my rhythm. I even made a bit more progress on my Book People article yesterday. I plan on making a bit more progress everyday for the next couple of days. My article is due next Tuesday so I really have to get my shit together and bang it out.
I am mostly concerned about not having done enough “research”. Mostly I am writing from a perspective of knowing the stories but I think there’s a lot more facts etc. that I need to sort out. I have to tell myself not to self-edit this first draft - Aish tells me I should just dump it all out on paper and we can sort through it later.
I think I have to embrace the editing process more. I expect everything I do to come out perfectly the first time but I really have to embrace the fact that everything is iterative.
Anyway, I am still proud that I got the ball rolling again. I just gotta continue the momentum.
