I often feel like writing is a chore when I try and hold myself accountable of wanting to make writing a life long career. I think that comes from how stretched I am. I work two jobs and they're both part time and I only do one more often than the other but I feel as if they take up so much of my days.
One job is as a package handler: picking boxes off a conveyor belt and loading them. The other is retail at the mall. The package is more work but only for four hours in the night and the mall job is maybe two times a week. But then I have house duties and school work to attend to. By the time I'm ready to write, I'm just too tried and worn out to consider it anymore.
Another thing that happens is I get too into it, writing, and I don't want to stop. I think that's worse. Nothing is worse than have to stop the creative process, Horrible horrible thing that I always have to do and it makes me depressed.
I have big things planned for this year, and this month alone but I just gotta lock in! (I'm starting to hate that phrase…) There's so much I want to do but I have so little free time.
Here's to a successful written February.
Until next time!
