Piecemeal

There are certain times when we just have to do things a little bit at a time..

One of the things that I'm subject to every now and then is the waxing and waning of my ability to write frequently. Some nights I can sit down and slam through 3 or 4 posts and have them scheduled and put out there. Other times I'm skipping it entirely, or just doing one. I'm in a bit of the latter boat at the moment, and it can present some challenges!

I've been in a little bit of a rut in a few things, so my creative juices just ain't flowing. I don't like when that type of thing happens of course, because there are a lot of things that I enjoy about writing. It's one of my newest hobbies and I've really come to enjoy it a fair amount, with the things it provides me like catharsis on some of the things going on in the old noggin'.

When things are a little chaotic, it can be a little difficult to get the right time, headspace and all that to commit to doing some decent writing. Yeah it's one of those things where we could put out things that we consider sub-par but I dislike that highly. I don't think I'm writing Shakespeare here, but at the same time I feel like this is a lot more of an effort than there has been for some other activities I've seen. Granted, we all have differing styles, opinions and things like that but generally, I would like to think that the mindset and psychology stuff I've been crafting are pretty good, good enough to commit to the chain.

There have been one or two posts in the last few months that I started to write, and just scrapped it entirely. Deleted that shit, which is rare! I'm glad I committed to that though, because shit is just shit.

I've tried to get the ability to churn out a few good writings on a night but I wonder if I'm simply just fucking tired. I have been working myself a bit ragged mentally, throwing 200% of my efforts at a lot of the things in the workplace, so there just might not be any mana left over for the hobby stuff.

Thankfully though, I've got a few days off that have just started, my first real break since the whole company change happened a few months ago. It's been a long time coming, and others have taken far more time off than I have but that's okay, I don't mind working and committing the hours and things like that. It's the results at the end of the day that end up being pretty fun and worth it. I have fun making a positive impact, even if it's just to the few people that I work with on each project and the organizations themselves don't end up knowing what went on, but it works smoothly at the end of the day.

In the spirit of trying to see if sleep is my issue.. off the fuck I go to bed LOL

What about you, have you encountered some creative issues, in that you can't do multiple things in a day without getting tired? Let me know in the comments!
