I should be writing.
You all know this.
I know this.
Instead, I've been doing something else. I've been painting and I've been playing Pokemon. Yes, I do have a full time job (a couple actually), and I'm getting a real kick out of playing a game. Admittedly, a bunch of people at work are playing too, so it's fun to get the poke reports during breaks and lunches (you know, between the secret missions and all that).
More amazing than me having a blast playing a silly game and "wasting" my time is this: I'm writing more too.
Like for real. It's funny right, I spend more time doing a thing that takes time away from the writing thing and the end result is more writing? BWahhhh?
I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and sometimes, it's good to just have fun. For real. Like everything in life isn't about advancing the careers. And what I really didn't expect was that slowing down to play a game would help out my word count, but there it is.
So, that's my word of wisdom for the week: have fun!
Also, I have a winner to announce!

Great advice. Glad you're having fun - I do try to as much as possible :-)
ReplyDeleteI always make sure I'm having fun. My creative mind won't work unless I am.
ReplyDeleteI hear you there. I've found that whenever I try to cut back on other things to focus more on writing, I end up doing less writing or none at all. No idea why it works that way, but I've come to accept it.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I love that you've been playing Pokemon. Also. I've missed your blog. It's been too long. You know I've always adored your posts. I'm glad to be back in blogosphere. :)
