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
