Pressure like a Vice

I’m trying to get my head into the right place to work on filling out chapter analysis forms for my publisher Xchyler Publishing.

These things break the chapters down into scenes, and the character arcs in them, and the plot points etc. It is an interesting, and often enlightening, thing to do as the author. As for an editor, I can only imagine how helpful it will be.

This work takes a certain mind state however. It is a focused and rather demanding task. It also can seem daunting in a novel with almost thirty chapters. I want to get it done, for the exercise of it, the fact that my editor wants me to, and because when I get it it done it is… well, done.

The problem I am having is that, apparently, I’m having a bad brain day. My thoughts are warped enough it actually feels like pressure crushing my head just behind my ears.

Yeah, fun.

Cycling up again or just a bad day? Don’t know – won’t know, really, until a few more days have passed and I can watch myself, as it were.

Whether it is cycle or not. It is frustrating me. I want to get some work done it. But frustration and anger are exactly what is bothering me today. I am in one of those short fused, snappy, don’t task me, moods.

Not the perfect state for the task. Yet, if I do nothing on them… well that too will bother, frustrate, and annoy me.

You see why I cal them cycles.
