I can’t write all day

I think the last couple of weeks trying to write my dissertation have really given me an insight as to how I work as a person. I’ve come to one conclusion. I can’t just sit and write all day! My mind explodes! I need to do something creative as well.

I started writing this morning at 11 o’clock, and I’ve spent the last hour and a bit doing not a lot. Well, I say not a lot, what I mean is a lot of staring at the Word Document I have open and a lot of looking at the print out thinking, but not a lot else. It kinda made me think. I thought maybe it’s time I did something a little bit creative, a step away from the thinking and writing to something which comes a little bit more naturally, and you know what, it worked. ha!

I actually started writing this post at about 2pm this afternoon, but then I got creative and played in PhotoShop for a bit (you might see the results soon!). I went back to my diss and managed to get another hours work out of myself. So it seems I can’t write non-stop all day, but doing something creative lets me re-focus, a small amount anyway. So its a wooo for the creative, a boo for the dissertation, and come on we can do this for the doing the dissertation part!
