laura_seabrookYesterday I was totally spooked - I've been letting social media get to me again and I was on the verge of a panic attack. However I'm off Google+ for a while and Facebook as well. It does make a difference when I do this, because when I get to this point I know that I'm becoming excessive in my use of of s6tuff like that and it disrupts my focus and concentration. Is this weird? Am I stupid for not coping with stuff like Google+ and facebook? This is why I don't have twitter account - it'd drive me crazy.
I think in this case it makes the difference in coping with the abrasive reviews I got on the Masters and not coping with them. There were a lot of good suggestions, but a number that claimed more or less that I just did a "cut & paste" job on the thing. The truth is, I RAN OUT OF TIME and it was an unfinished and confused draft - partly because I was using MS Word's revision function and neither I nor the person proofing it knew how to use it properly - they NEVER approved cancelled changes I made, so I had a huge mess at the end which was extremely difficult to follow. .But anyway, Social media sends me off on tangents and gets me worked up over shit. and that can't be a good thing with an anxiety disorder.
The good news for yesterday was that I experimented with importing Word documents into Scrivener, and copied 12.1 Gb of images for the revisions I need to make on my art component of my Masters. That 12.1 Gb included images for over 200 pages in bitmap and Illustrator format. It's still going.
Got it done!
