Okay folks. The last time I worked on my book was in January last year. I geared up to get it done and then had a thyroid infection and other health problems and then one thing and another and I didn't work on it at all in 2022. I was gonna get back to work first thing in 2023 and then I broke a toe and couldn't sit comfortably at a desk and then I got bronchitis. I'm afraid of what's going to happen next, but I'm going to try to get back to work on it right about...now. #writing #CuriosityBook
When you have #ADHD, getting back in to writing a book when you haven't really worked on it for more than a year is intimidating. Fortunately I'm now doing #CognitiveBehavioralTherapy and my therapist has helped me come up with small(ish) steps that will help me get the ball rolling. First step is to read this summary paper, which has been on my "to read" pile for a year: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11214-022-00882-7
@elakdawalla Highly recommend the #amwriting #science and #scicomm hashtags for when you're doing this!
@elakdawalla ohhh man. hard sympathy here, ADHD has made it brutal for me.
