A writer who is afraid to overreach himself is as useless as a general who is afraid to be wrong. – Raymond Chandler.
Getting back on track can be one of those things that’s hard for me to do, especially after a busy period or a period of relaxation. And, wouldn’t you know it: Business hit me nearly right after a period of relaxation. For the most part, I was attempting to regain my momentum and get back on track, but those attempts haven’t led to anything being published yet. I’m trying my best not to be lulled, but the compulsion to buy video games can sometimes be stronger for me. Didn’t help anything that I bought a new SD card, which actually wasn’t that much bigger than my previous one like I initially thought, but the crux of the issue is that I spent a good chunk of my recent days off to move games around and figure which games I wanted on which card. Excuses, excuses. I know… Took me a while to even think how to get another post for The Write Journal started. But, it’s the New Year, the growing pains have been set in motion, and now is the time to hunker down and be absolutely insane with my writing-schedule! Yes, there’s risk of burnout… but honestly, if I experience burnout doing something I want to keep doing and sharing then so be it! The burnout can either turn me to ash or make me stronger in my resolve.
Sure, I worry about exhausting myself mentally, but that only ever happened to me once when I gave college a try (an era I refer to as The Era of Anti-Writing), and before that, I remember exhaustion from writing things I enjoyed writing was actually rewarding. Indeed, I’ve had similar experiences of rewarding-exhaustion from writing sometime after recovering from that era, but those instances were more occasional jogs to keep my discipline somewhat in shape, at least enough to say its not something I’m quitting any time soon. However, I feel like I need to start pushing myself to hone my discipline more viscerally, regain a more poignant focus I know I can maintain for longer periods at a time. An argument can be made that I write a lot already, and while I agree with that in a sense, I can’t convince myself that I’m writing enough! With all that out of the way, I do want to talk about video games, but I feel like I need to save that subject for the future posts after this one. Though I’ve played quite a bit of video games, and I might have beat a couple since the last post I posted, I feel extremely unprepared. Additionally, figuring out photos and footage is necessary – I think – if I want to go about a silly thing like that.
Haven’t been feeling like I want to figure it out, though, so I’m writing the type of post that’s riddled with all kinds of ant-fun. Seriously, though, I hope everyone is going to have a decent year this year, but in a way, I’m more hopeful we can all be amped to face whatever challenges come our way this year. When it comes to the challenge of chasing our goals, no one can hope for anything better than to be amped. This is as much to implore me as it is to anyone who has it in their heart to read anything I write: shake off that Holiday mold, dust off the soot gathered from a busy life, and now for the hard part, suffer for the work you most want to produce!… legally speaking…. Hahaha!
God Bless And Thank You For Reading!
