You're going to think I'm weird.
My mentor took my first draft of the first section of my article and ripped it to effing shreds. There was six pages of material, and like eleventy billion pieces of feedback.
I could kiss him on his married mouth.
This is all by way of saying that my article is cooking. Also, I love love LOVE getting feedback on my writing. I am STOKED. What I have also realized is that I have to indulge this nerdy side of myself if I'm going to find fulfillment in my career. I've been blessed with this deep well of curiosity, and I'm finally in the career that might make a great run at filling it.
I am also fortunate to be going up to my alma mater every Thursday night this summer, and I go with extra time and high hopes about working on my article during that time.
Last week, I napped.
This week, I sat outside and ate chips and didn't pick up a single piece of paper.
I'm not quite in the right mindset, I don't think. It has been a rough week to say the least, and I'm going to make a run at some revisions and some lit reviewing this weekend, I think. We'll see. Self-care is at the front of my mind at the moment, and sometimes that means putting some stuff away for a bit, which is perfectly acceptable.
