Forcing Journal

[Shadow Step]

Yeah, I'm pretty much in a similar boat. I'd rather not go into too much detail about my personal life here, but I know the feeling. On the bright side though, academic stuff does tend to clear up eventually and you get a bit of a breather period where not too much is happening.

I'm in that middle place where if you're not working on work for tomorrow you're detailing a lengthy thesis paper about something or other.

This sounds really intriguing, and I might try it myself. Even the part about visualising with your eyes closed sounds pretty helpful. I always try to visualise with my eyes open in naturey places; I can't believe I didn't think of something so straightforward xD.

I'm glad to hear you're doing well in spite of your workload.

I try and do some stuff with my eyes open, but the moment something moves I lose all concentration. Eyes shut works best for me, and perhaps aiming to be an author does in some ways as well. Of course it's different trying to visualize something as opposed to just coming up with words for it. I could sit here all day and describe in detail my girls, but it doesn't help me see them any better.
