working not brain right
It seems that every time I decide that I want to write something, my brain decides to lock up.
I've pretty much given up the idea of ever bring able to catch up writing my characters' stories. After all, I'm still pre-Cataclysm in my personal timeline. So today I decided to write up a brief summary of what each of my characters have been up to, something like a detailed "current events" post that I occasionally make, only expanded out for the entire expansion.
As you can probably guess since you are reading this, I haven't been able to do that yet.
This is very irritating! Since Blizzard seems to have borked up the patch today, now would be the perfect time to write some fiction. But I simply can't seem to do it anymore. I think the part of my brain that controls anything even remotely resembling creativity has completely shut down. When I try to force my thoughts to concentrate on writing a story, it's like my attention focuses on everything but what I want it to focus on.
Even this silly little post has literally taken me hours to write. Meanwhile, I have dozens of internet windows open and two different games running in the background (and the WoW patcher). I can not concentrate worth a damn. It's even starting to affect me at work.
I think I am going to call the doctor to see if he can see me sometime sooner than March. If it is the medication that is truly causing these problems, then I need to change them regardless of everyone else's opinions on the matter. (And if it is not the medication causing this... then there is something seriously wrong with me).
Until then, I am open to suggestions.
