Because of Mr. Hernia, I’ve had to give up ketchup this week. I have ketchup, but I can’t use too much of it. The thing is, I used it three times a day in one day, last Wednesday and got rewarded with a massive heart burn attack. It was a bad attack. I was coughing a lot. I have now come to realize I cannot engage with indulging in ketchup right now. I have a referral to two female GIs, and other hernia surgeons. I need to investigate this thing further because I realize how limited my diet is. I have to stay away from vinegar, ketchup, and spicy food in general. Drat. That means no curry. Damn it.
I get my claircognizant to work by just thinking about what it is I need to have an insight about, like what business to start first. I have lately been thinking about why I deal with abusive people too much, and what I’ve actually thought of is that it is a Paper Doll Syndrome kind of situation. I have to dump or distance myself from toxic people on a regular basis. I am trying to heal myself of a hernia and its related issues. Or at the very least, I’m working on making an effort to fix my type 1- diabetes also, both in the physical world, and other than that. I just think about something deeper and then some knowledge randomly pops into my head. It is how I decided to get Lamictal for myself because I woke up one morning and thought, dude, I need Lamictal for good judgment. And there you go, in 2017, I decided to get one more medication so as to stay stable.
Okay, let it be noted to my readers that I notice everything. I cannot deal with skepticism much right now because I’m feeling very fragile due to my hernia. I have to be wary of sauces for one. I’m trying to keep my head above water, so any skeptical posts I let through out of being civil but I have my limits. I am freaking out about Mr. Hernia here, and it is bad. They won’t operate yet because of my diabetes. But hey, eventually it will happen whether I like it or not. Thank God for the knowledge that endoscopy gave us. You see, I tend to walk around, reading people very well, and kind of figuring out who they are but I have to test my impression out because I need to see if I’m assuming or if I’m actually right.
In Chapter 10, we read about writing setting as a crucial element of a short story. A setting is important to the story. Once in college, I forgot to write a setting for a piece. Somebody pointed this out, and then said she was imagining it in a lab in outer space. Settings for my work vary, from a spaceship, to Earth in ancient times. Your story has to identify the time the story is set in, details about geographic, and more. Plot is defined as everything that happens to a character in this story, particularly the suffering they go through. My latest novella, The Land of True Blood, is about somebody going through hell, but winning in the end. This is the nature of fiction, although fiction is also about the protagonist working through conflict and the antagonist eventually getting beaten by the winner.
