Just a bit of thoughts I had
I was just wondering, how everyone finds managing fic vs RL?
I massively struggle with this. I find I get sucked into fandom and disappear from life for days at a time, get my sleep patterns all ruined, find it difficult to do my day job, cook food, do the dishes. I get obsessed and I can't put it down. I'll start reading a fic and won't stop until it finishes or I physically have to. Or if I'm writing the same can happen.
And then it gets to a point where I have to break away from fandom just to get a grip back in RL. And then stay away from it for months at a time just to try and get things back on track.
So, how does everyone else manage to be so involved, so constant? Is there a trade off for things in RL or are you all just extremely good at time management?
Any thoughts would be appreciated :)
