Processing About Processing

[emberleo]

I don't like how hard it seems to be to think clearly enough for long enough to use my journal to process.

I'm getting all kinds of processing done, and all kinds of stuff is going on in my life, but when I sit down with intent to document and process further, it just dribbles out my ears, and I'm exhausted at the thought of rehashing it all here.

I don't know if the problem is that this is a somewhat public forum, that it's only read by a handful of people despite its public nature, or because it involves writing things out in the more general sense. I have managed other bits of writing easily enough.

*shrug* I don't know. Once again I find myself tired of being tired.

mayhap this is not how/where you are processing right now?

[emberleo]

Yes. I seem to be processing mostly in dialogue with others lately.

IM works well lately, and I find myself wanting to clean up the logs and post them (and have done so when I had permission and thought folks would actually enjoy reading it).

You have my permission. :)

[emberleo]

Aww, thanks!

I generally ask for permission on a case-by-case basis, rather than expecting blanket permission from any given person.

Of course, I also try to weed out as much as I can that's not about my own stuff, and leave out other people's names, etc.

Figured as much, but wanted to be sure that you knew. :)
