July 12: Total lack of initiative seems to be my problem. As my loyal readers know (too) well, this has been a continuing affliction of mine for years. It's at its peak right now. I hope it's mainly due to the ablation procedure on my heart I underwent three weeks or so ago. I've been told it may be three or four weeks more before I'm over that. It's been hot and humid of late, too. One thing about it interests me: my brain seems to function as ever--I seem to think about as well as ever, and get ideas. I just have all kinds of trouble converting them to writings or art. Unless they're very minor, like the ones I'm expressing now. Although I had to push myself to get started on this. I seem unable physically to do anything naturaally--I have to tell myself to do things.
Yeah, could be depression. Financial problems, and vocational over-extendedness, and general disorganizedness. . . . With whatever the ablation procedure did weakening my ability to deal with them.
I did fulfill my vow of a hundred words or more daily on my piece on Vernon Frazer's Emblematic Moon for American Book Review. The past two days I've been refining it. Today I hope to cut it under the maximum of 1250 words I'm allowed and be done with it. It's now just after seven a.m. I have no other chores on my agenda for the day. So, I have no excuse not to get it done.
