I will be honest in saying that on a day to day basis, I really don’t have the burn, or even really want to write. I have many great ideas, but honestly I don’t feel like it often. Manytimes, I sit and force myself to write because I realize I have to write from time to time to advance myself. But right now that burn is alive and well, I genuinely FEEL like writing. I can feel the creative juices running. I am drifting into other worlds with ease. Now is an ideal time in which I should be writing.
Sadly though, this just isn’t in the cards for me right now. I am just far too busy with my upcoming move, and now even work is starting to come into play in my ability to write.
For instance, I normally get done with work at 4:30. Today I got done a little after 5:15. Largely because I have been insanely busy at work of late and they are allowing for overtime so I think that I should use this ability to catch up with what I am doing. Then when I was done, I drove to my new apartment building and dropped off paint so that they would paint some walls in our new apartment over the weekend before we move in. After this, I returned home and rested for about 10 minutes. Packed up my car full of old junk and drove it to my mom’s house on the other side of town to put in her basement for next year’s garage sale (less we have to hold onto and move come this weekend!).
I finally returned home for good at 8:30pm, where I rested a few more minutes and began folding clothes I washed last night and packing them away in a suitcase I had set up in my room.
This is essentially how my nights are going. I don’t have much time to really get into something and I am dead tired at the end of the night. So here I am using my burn to write for a blog. Which is actually quite a shame because honestly this isn’t my best writing and furthermore isn’t necessarily even that important in the grand scope of things.
Still, this writing does keep me active in writing which I feel is important. It helps hone my skills slightly. It keeps me thinking. It is too bad I can’t put it into something far more productive…
