I love writing. I love telling stories and putting all the fantasies and day dreams in my head down on paper. I write mostly for myself, though I share some with people and love it when they comment on it.
As much as I love it, I don’t do it enough. I get pulled by my vices (video games and anime mostly) and spent way more time on that than anything else. Even when I pull myself away from them, I still have school and work that takes my productivity away, and by the end of it, even if I feel like writing, I don’t.
I’d love to get back into it, especially going through my old stories and editing them to be better. It’s hard. I want to improve, but often I don’t know how. I want to keep doing it and write more, but I don’t want to stop enjoying it. I’ve got so much I need to do, so much else I want to do, and even when I have the time I keep getting distracted.
Sorry for the long post, just wanted to vent.
Writing is super hard when I’m well entertained.
It’s a lot easier when I make room for a little boredom here and there. The video games will always be there later.
I gave up long ago ever playing every unmissable game on my backlog. How would I ever get bored enough to write?
