I know the posts have been thin and the next podcast vapor. I've gotten caught in the ramp-up at work, new role and I'm in the process of buying a new house. That leaves slim pickin's for free time and when I have a few moments, I'm more inclined to play than post or pod. I'm sure you can understand.
Anyway - while, I'm posting...I'm trying to decide what I really want to do with this blog. MMORPGs and me aren't parting anytime soon but I am feeling the desire to get back to creative writing. I have mounds of excuses why I don't and having a gaming blog to go to when I want to write, but am too lazy to work on fiction, often provides too easy of a distraction. Not like the games aren't distraction enough but those I can't live without at the moment. Games are sometimes the most sane part of my insane existence. I live a life that is stranger than fiction - not by design or desire of course, but my family is fueled by DYSfunction.
Any time I talk to my friends about getting back to my stories they always say that I should write about my life instead. Like why battle with creating fantasy worlds and conjuring magic, when I have a enough non-sense, drama, joys, heartaches and mayhem to fill an encyclopedia? It always makes me stop and ask myself the same thing. Hmm. But it usually comes back to the fact that my writing, games and blogs are a break from that reality. So while it might be good fodder for fiction, to me it's just annoying bullshit.
Still - I can't do "this" forever, at least not at this frequency. I haven't come to any decisions. I'm still pondering all my choices. I have some ideas based on some new podcasts that I've been listening to recently. I'll reveal more, when I know more.
Ta-ta for now.
