The Isolated Blurt BDSM Thread

[midwestyankee]

*Sigh*

I'm going to start writing again.

I never stopped writing, in the sense of no longer putting words to a page. I do that now because I have to pay the bills somehow. But web content and blog posts for SEO doesn't truly count as "writing" in my mind, even if other people do pay me to do it.

It's time to do more. I've always said I'd do it when I had more time or less writing to do for work or whatever, but that's clearly an excuse. If I wait for a better time, I'll spend my whole life waiting, and I'll die, having wasted the one gift I have.

I don't have the ability to write long pieces now. So it'll be short poems, vignettes, brief humorous anecdotes from my actual life, whatever, the fact that I'm awful at poetry and even more awful at fiction notwithstanding.

I feel that if I make myself sit down at the end of each day and write, even if only for 10 or 15 minutes, then eventually, I'll get a good idea and will be able to run with it.

I'm doing it in a blog to make myself be accountable. I've already signed up for a new Wordpress account strictly for this. I'm going to think up a name for the damned thing and get started on Monday.

Aaaaand that was way more than a blurt, wasn't it?

This sounds excellent and you know I'm a fan. However, I have a bit of advice for you, based on recent research into the psychology of willpower.

To establish a new habit will take some willpower, which is actually a mental state powered by glucose. It can be depleted pretty easily during the course of a normal day of decision making and forcing yourself to work for long stretches without reaching for a jelly doughnut or a cock to suck, or whatever is your craving at the moment. Because of this depletion, it's far tougher to establish a new habit at the end of the work day than in the early part of the day.

Also, your supply of glucose is essential to maintaining your willpower. Try doing your writing first thing in the day, and only after having a glass of juice or something else that's naturally sugary. In the long run, it's best to keep up your body's stores of glucose by eating a diet of low-glycemic foods because they lead to more steady production of glucose and don't cause the sugar crashes. But for a short haul, a quick glass of juice or a whole orange will bring up your glucose level and make it easier to keep up the new habit.

This is so interesting; I have never heard this before!! So, following your logic, when I'm like "ehhh I don't want to exercise...", it'd be helpful to go eat an apple or something like that to get a little spike of glucose to make me go YAY EXERCISE? Along with, as you said, keeping a low-glycemic diet

Yes, that should help.

The research is described in detail in the book Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength, written by the guy who led most of the key research in the topic. It's pretty recent stuff. In fact, one of the key studies that confirmed the role of glucose in willpower was first made public in 2011.

Wow...that's incredibly interesting. I had no idea!

The reason I initially said I'd do it at the end of the day is that I hardly ever feel like writing on any given day. But knowing I "have" to spurs me on to do it, and by the time I've written several pieces for clients, the writing part of my brain has kicked in. Then, I can go indefinitely.

However...this may change my mind.

Also thank you bunches for the support.

Hey Bunny, that's awesome news.

To toss in my two cents, consider setting *very* specific goals for your personal writing. That will help too. I find that when I'm writing with a deadline and a purpose, I am far, far more motivated than if I'm 'just writing'. Maybe look up a competition you might want to enter (there are tons) or a magazine or journal you might submit to. It's not about winning, or even about trying to win, or about getting published, it's about having a set goal with a deadline and word count.

Same with blogging, think about making a schedule for yourself. "I will write X number of posts (stories, poems, etc) per week."

Also, you've probably read Stephen King's "On Writing" but I always pick it up and read it again when my morale is low. I find it really pumps me up.

Happy scribbling!

Thanks, K.!

I will definitely take your suggestions. I lack the confidence to try anything other than the most private stuff right now, but I will most certainly start submitting things when I feel that stuff is back up to par again. In the meantime, I'll hold myself to a weekly schedule on my little writing journal thing.

 

[bhndblueyes88]

I was totally planning on going for a walk or participating in some form of exercise today, as my lunch was way more calories than I needed...but it's incredibly muggy atm and i JAMMED MY DAMNED TOE at the creek and now my whole fucking limb hurts -_- GRR I got a ton of moss up my toenail too, and I know that bled...i'm going to get SUCH a bad infection, even with chlorhex...

I've gotten into the habit of picking up a particularly bad or amateurishly written book when I'm out of energy. It gives me this little indignant kick, like "Grr, I could do better than this!" Man, Fifty Shades of Grey is practically powering the majority of my writing over the past few days, that way

Also, On Writing was the book I finished just before that. Damn, how did I miss that one for so long?

 

[seela]

I really hate it when people change their plans at the very last moment for stupid reasons, which then again makes my plans crash and burn, making me look stupid and lacking any basic scheduling skills in the eyes of other people.

Not-So-Good Morning.

I read the same thing about a big cup of coffee before a workout, and yeah, it helps.

Thanks for this, MWY. I'm sure it's interesting stuff, but I dunno. I just don't feel like reading it right now. Maybe later. Yeah, later I will.

He said he'd give me a buzz this morning.

When I went to bed, thinking about hearing his voice in the morning, and wrapped in the shirt he gave me (his scent), my clit throbbed so hard I nearly squirted. The very thought of him makes me so hot the slightest touch sets me off.

If there was ever a man in the world to fear death by sex, it is him.

Any time you feel like your writing isn't up to your own standards, I suggest an experience I had recently as an antidote. I picked up the Literotica app for Android not long ago and the other day I used the random-story selector for grins. It took me five tries to find a story that didn't have egregious spelling, grammar, or thinking errors in the first paragraph. You could always take a break, glance at a couple of those pieces, and remind yourself that at least you're of sound mind and grammar.

 

[seela]

I understood French! Written and spoken! Maybe it wouldn't be such a horrific task to start actually studying it, as I already seem to understand a fair bit of day-to-day jibberjabber. Yay.

 

[Kajira Callista]

Am I outgrowing lit...or do i just need to sit back a bit? I read almost everything here and i just fel like i have nothing to add. *sigh* I would like to add, but there just really is nothing.

I'm bored and very lonely... Wishing my master would come back

Never underestimate the renewing power of shirking all responsibility, finding a peaceful nook, queueing up a super playlist, and just breathing, listening, & coloring for a few hours. Everything else I have on my to do list is now feeling just a little more possible.

Quiet & deep breathing coupled with a creative outlet are so very good for you, critical really. It is something I need and plan to do more of.

I wish more people understood this. Sometimes you just need you time to sit back, relax and recharge yourself

It is something very exhausting to the the only adult in my extensive family. Occasionally, I'd like to be the child, throw a screaming tantrum and refuse to clean up after their messes.

But that day isn't today. Today I get to drive an hour and a half to get my sister, after my mom promised to bring her down today so she wouldn't miss any more school, then go grocery shopping, and then drive an hour and a half to get back to my house. Then I get to calm down my son, who doesn't deal well with changes in routine, get him to bed, make K's lunch for his first day of work tomorrow, and hopefully get some time in the bathtub.

Oh, in case none of you know, my 18 year old sister is living with me now. The one that ran away awhile back.

Start with bare feet and then follow where they want to go.
