A brief list:
Crocheting
World of Warcraft
Books
Boredom
School
Summer Vacation
Friends
All of these add up to the simple sum of little to no writing done in the last three or four months. Part of it is the waiting on beta readers to give me their feedback on DEALING WITH DEMONS so I can continue with the revising. I’ve long ago discovered that my OCD makes it really hard for me to work on multiple writing projects at once. It’s like going out to dinner. I eat all of one side, then the other, then the main dish. There’s no taking a bite of this, and some of that. Nope. It has to be all one thing at one time.
Don’t know why. That’s just the way I’ve always been.
Anyway! Know that you’ve learned a strange detail about me that you probably didn’t really want to know, back to the topic at hand.
Creative writing was great, though again, I couldn’t work on short stories and Jacky at the same time. When I work on something, I give all of myself to it until it’s done. (At least with writing. Art is another matter.) I expected that once school was out, I’d start back into the writing. Unfortunately this is not so. A lot of things happened the last two weeks of school, things that were more emotionally draining than mere finals. I’m still recovering from it, and heaven only knows how long that’s going to take. Hopefully not too long. I miss playing with Jacky and all our friends.
So I write a bit here and there, but not like I did before school. Life will go on, though. Writing will go on. It just might be a little slow in coming.
On a side note, we’re going to be turning my sister’s old room into an office. Until that’s done, I’m stuck with my laptop, since I don’t want to unpack my desktop, then have to move it around in a couple weeks. No big deal, really. Just another thing that’s going to eat up time and energy and steal a bit of my soul away from the things I really want to be doing.
