Sometimes I think I need to do something aside from computery things.
Writing is a very solitary hobby, after all. You sit on your ass, facing a computer screen with your fingers on a keyboard or you're using a pen on paper. The interaction comes if someone leaves feedback, but otherwise, writing is a solitary hobby. You let all the little random thoughts swirl together until they're processed into sentences and scenes that are scrawled on a page or in pixels. It's fun for me, but also feels very necessary on some level, considering all the ideas swirling about. Ideas tend to come at random times, and the time to actually sit and write varies. This week had gobs of it for no good reason, but the ideas weren't really there. I thought about tooling around with LJ's "To Do List" option to keep track of fic ideas I want to do at some point but haven't finished yet. Maybe at some point I will. So far, I stuck with the obvious ones. I finally got around to starting and working on the HP idea I had months ago, and I'm steadily poking at my Tin Man fic. My remix fic? I've chosen the thing to mix and I've gone after it twice, but they don't feel right. I'm forcing it, and maybe that's why I'm unhappy with what I'm writing for it. It's not complete crap, but I'm not happy with it.
The only gaming I do now is WOW, which has its place. Yay for setting things on fire after a bad day, or leveling. I may actually trip into level 77 this weekend. And it only took me what? two and a half years? :P There's tooling around the internet, but really, there's only so much of that I can take before I need to pull the plug.
Yanno, for someone normally so easily amused, I'm not easily amused atm. :D
Sometimes I write entries in my head as I go through my day. I meant to comment on the Deadliest Warrior ep this week (AOE tasers from SWAT FTW!) or on North and South, which I finally finished last night. Or that I'm finally trying to go through Big Bang Theory. Or how much Jay makes fun of me watching dl'd eps as I play WOW lately. Or whatever fun thing Maddy is doing. By the time I get near a computer, tho, I forget what I wanted to say.
Anyway, I think all this is prompted because EVERYONE canceled this afternoon. Everyone. I'm stuck with one of those rare Friday afternoons where I'm not waiting for someone to show up, I'm not behind in paperwork, and no one needs me.
So, I'm unplugging myself from the Matrix for a while. I'm picking up Maddy early and we'll just veg together for a while. Or run around the backyard while the house is still ours. See ya!
