wiscon and home
Jun. 1st, 2012 11:00 amThis couple of weeks has been good for me. My fingers are getting twitchy and odd phrases strike off ideas like sparks. Very slow time travel. Language as the originator of memory. We used to be star people. I'd forgotten what it feels like to want to write.
A few months ago I listed all the things I want to do, as sort of a way to demonstrate to myself that there is literally not enough time to do them all. Means I've been less worried about lower-priority things like learning to play go well, or writing interactive fiction, or what have you. Helpful as far as it went: gives me a bit more focus, all that. I'm starting to think I need to write out a list of goals and steps I can take to further those goals. You know, like a real grown-up. Having something specific I can do every day is likely to help a lot.
The above was written on Monday in O'Hare, over the course of several hours during which it was too warm to think or focus on anything for more than about five minutes at a stretch.
Since then nebulous work-related stress has eaten much of my energy. Scared that this is going to be an ongoing state of affairs; pushing on anyway, because other options are worse.
Anyway, ( WisCon. )
