Day 26 

Rearranging a previous writing 

Was just hard. I was kind of overwhelmed  when I first  saw  it was daunting  even  deciding  what to use didn’t  want to have too little  or too much. Some of  my writing are quite  long. The email said not more than a few pages.Full disclosure I  printed out the piece I wanted to use  highlighted the sections I wanted to use and my mom cut them out. The option of highlighting the sections on the computer and copying and pasting seened just as tedious and time consuming and frankly not much easier than I tried .  Ironically, usually cutting things out and doing different things with cool phases and pictures ie vision boards and collages is calming to my anxiety ( it wasn’t in this case .) . I can use scissors even  the cutting in this case had to be so precise as not  cut off  in words int was daunting is my least favorite prompt of the whole course, it was fucking annoying. Grief work is just fucking hard and I don’t feel like rearranging my own words to make something  new  I am emotionally and physically too tired
