I sat down and figured out how many hours I write a week.

12.

You know how many hours I game?

About 60.

Gaming is mindless.  Writing can be work.  Sometimes it’s fun.  Sometimes, when I sit here thinking, “What character wants to talk today?”,  I have a total mind-blank.  I have about 30 characters that I can pick from.  Thirty distinct, separate characters with great backstory, but no wants.  That’s what drives a character.  As George Carlin says about sinning, “You gotta wanna.”

A few of the characters I have do have wants.  But not 30 of them.

I will have to cut down my gaming and get into the writing a little more.  If I can balance it, then I think I can be productive.  And that’s my resolution: to be productive.
