Actually, It's more like this:

First of all, good thinking in tying into the belay loop and not any gear loop.

Second, If you use your right hand as your main brake hand, the sling from the belay loop should go around your left hip to the anchor, so if it comes tight it doesn't interfere with your brake hand.

Edit: Of course there's the option to belay directly off the anchor, especially if you're one harness short in your climbing party. For my part, however, I find it easier to keep control over my (ATC) braking device if it's connected to my harness and not flopping around in the end of a sling. You can of course belay directly off the anchor and clip the whole bundle to your belay loop, but be carful to avoid cross-loading the biner(s) then...
