I love writing. I love telling stories and putting all the fantasies and day dreams in my head down on paper. I write mostly for myself, though I share some with people and love it when they comment on it.

As much as I love it, I don't do it enough. I get pulled by my vices (video games and anime mostly) and spent way more time on that than anything else. Even when I pull myself away from them, I still have school and work that takes my productivity away, and by the end of it, even if I feel like writing, I don't.

I'd love to get back into it, especially going through my old stories and editing them to be better. It's hard. I want to improve, but often I don't know how. I want to keep doing it and write more, but I don't want to stop enjoying it. I've got so much I need to do, so much else I want to do, and even when I have the time I keep getting distracted.

Sorry for the long post, just wanted to vent.

Go be bored. Being bored is the best way to jog creativity. There's this Veritasium video on boredom that is very good.
