Exegesis Stress

laura_seabrookI tried avoiding social media to help get the exegesis done but that lasted two days. I was able to get more done, but late yesterday I discovered that the email I'd sent to proofers (people who proofread) got put in "Draft" instead of being sent (SIGH). I guess I was too highly strung to figure that out at the time.
So today I've sending new emails out. I've started with one in particular. My intuition went in to overtime saying "THIS IS THE ONE" to me when I looked at their website. So I've sent an email to them first, and if my intuition turns out to be off its face for no good reason, I'll move on to the next on the list.
I can't say just how stressful it's been organizing the proofing. Iused to proof things as part of my job, but that was 25 years ago. Now I have an anxiety disorder and over the past few years issues with y language (which scares me shitless). It means that the more anxious I get while writing the exegesis the more weirdness (as in mispellings, tyos, et cetera) comes out, even when I think I've typed the right thing. Sometimes it's like my mind skips ahead of my fingers and instead of getting the words I wanted I get fragments instead. That's why everything has been so SLOW on this - I've been fighting it all the way.
Anyway, don't think I'm up to doing anything on the exegesis for the reast of the day, so instead I'm off to see a film (somthing about a zombie apocolypse, looks like a comedy) and some food shopping.
