I know you might be looking to actually put pen to paper, but have you thought about getting a voice recorder and narrating the story on your way to/from work? At least you would get it out of your head.

Just a thought.

I can relate…its like at times you log onto WoW and think , “Hmm do I really want to be doing this right now”, so you start jumping around counting how many cobblestones there are in Dalaran, but not really wanting to log off…sure I could go tank a few Heroics…being a tank its only a few minutes wait, but I couldnt be bothered, yet other days its all go, go, go. I say just let it flow when the mood suits you. I will still keep checking this blog daily, but if nothings changed, so be it. Enjoy doing what you want, when the mood suits you.
Cheers

I know the feeling, if not quite to the depth that you seem to feel it. .-= Kaethir´s last blog ..The Guns of Icecrown Citadel =-.

Honestly, Im doing the same. Writing is my all time favorite thing to do, yet I can never build a whole thing. Its always bits and pieces that never fit quite right, and telling a story is so…hard. Not because its hard to write, in itself, but because you want that story to reflect what is in your mind and the story you have within your own ‘heart’. Sadly, when you convert that into words, it just doesnt seem to do the story any real justice, and so you try to back up, chop things up, rewrite, and on and on the circle goes until you give up and start anew. My advice is simple, and it worked for me: write whatever comes to mind, get the skeleton down on paper, and then slowly go back through it; after you have the skeleton, make sure you catch on the things that are really important, for example where location are, or whether you missed to mention something; finally, just start from the top and fill in things from there. It is MUCH easier to be able to “not” stress from the get-go that its not what you want it to be, and just write for the love of writing. Good luck to you!

Don’t be so hard on yourself bear, but i know the feeling, I want more than anything to get into the game development field. I have tutorials, editors, debuggers, but when i have a few free moments what do I spend them doing? sleeping, spending time with the wife, or playing wow or oblivion… I just can’t focus my mind on doing what I want to do. Tho it is difficult to focus when you have an infant in the house..

I want to get out of this crummy office/hole/cubicle and start doing things I enjoy. (you should enjoy your work, or else you have the wrong job ya?) If it would pay the bills i’d go back to hotel work, but front desk doesn’t pay in the 30′s these days at least not around fort worth… I enjoyed that line of work, i didn’t have to be a problem solver all day long. (only when other staff or random events screwed up someone’s stay) I got to meet lots of people, and every day brought something different.

Now i’m stuck unlocking user accounts, managing backup schedules, and making inventory lists over and over.

"Every day that doesn’t happen, is a day I haven’t followed my heart." B3, don't beat yourself up too much. You've got a pretty big freaking heart. Sometimes it's gotta be hard to follow something that huge :) .-= Miss Medicina´s last blog ..Blizzabeth and JackHole Get a Divorce =-.
