(I have another round of edits to do.) Now I'm back and taking the weekend to further my 'not writing'. I feel so guilty reading your post! I hope it's a good, productive few days for you.<br />You've been on my mind so much lately..Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01897963154223770756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-55531940526322676882013-01-04T13:37:52.228-08:002013-01-04T13:37:52.228-08:00OK, I had nearly an identical experience in colleg...OK, I had nearly an identical experience in college of trying to complete a project at a hotel -- but all I did was watch TV. So, assuming you have somewhat similar fears, let me offer a touch of advice (do you hate unsolicited advice? so sorry if you do). Write just a single page, and then give yourself a reward (even a huge reward), whether that's some time in front of the TV, a food treat, 2 hours of lolling around, or anything else. Then go to page 2 and repeat. Sounds excessive right? If you have the kind of anxieties around writing that I do, you will eventually realize this is the only way. Let me do the painful trial and error for you. I suffer TERRIBLY from writing-anxiety. This is the only thing that worked. love and support, Erica in VTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-21315851952571145872013-01-04T08:17:39.500-08:002013-01-04T08:17:39.500-08:00Enjoy your time away with yourself.

I need a little bit of internet, though. I think I did OK because I could control the distractions (at home I can't control my family and my guilt for being away from my family!). I was also under a reasonable time crunch. I wanted to make sure I had something to show for the sacrifice Rob was making being in charge of the household for 5 days over the holidays!<br />Thinking of you lots. ~BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960745908487070885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-82591227408822884062013-01-03T19:43:11.865-08:002013-01-03T19:43:11.865-08:00In college, there was a purpose for that project!

You do not owe us ( or anyone!) an explanation of what you and/or your family has endured. Sometimes upon reflection one realized that simply letting go without any explanation is the healthiest answer for just for you, but also perhaps most importantly for our still-present loved ones. Something to consider, at least.
