Purgatory
At the end of May, my entire decided to betray me and I began a series of medical ups and downs. My body and mind went through a lot of exertion and trauma from stress, pain, and surgery.Â
Even after the larger aspects of my medical issues seemed to have been resolved, my mind was still trying to repair my body and I couldn't think of anything to write nor could I motivate myself. I sat starring at a computer screen or twiddling my pen in my hand for hours but not typing a single word.Â
Just as I though I was getting out of my healing phase, something else would happen that would set me back to square one. I tried writing and editing and coming up with new plots as I recovered for months but to no avail.
This is why I call this portion of my project Purgatory. I wanted to write but it was always out of my reach. It was a mental torture that no writer should have to go through.
