In all honesty I've been busy as hell with buying a house, so that is my main priority this month, which I am pleased to say, I close on 11/28.<BR/><BR/>You bring up an awesome point about people not prioritizing their life and blaming it on "not enough time". <BR/><BR/>I tell you what, since reading your post (rather the guest post) about WoW a month ago, I've found a lot of extra time. I guess it hit home enough for me to take a big break from the game. It was a subconcious decision really, I went on one more raid after reading that post and realized I wasn't having fun anymore. <BR/><BR/>The funny thing is, I consider myself a "casual" gamer, and there I was raiding twice a week, spending a minimum of 10 hours a week in a game, but usually 15-20. Yeah, real casual, thats a part time job for crying out loud. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, enough about WoW, I'm sure you're a little sick of hearing about that post by now.. haha.. (it really was quite inspiring though, a few people in my guild really took note of that post.)<BR/><BR/>Good luck on the Novel, that is a heck of an accomplishment!Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00169850810071951322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11017428.post-1163777815054299202006-11-17T10:36:00.000-05:002006-11-17T10:36:00.000-05:00I'm in for next year.I'm in for next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11017428.post-1163728539521538132006-11-16T20:55:00.000-05:002006-11-16T20:55:00.000-05:00Why do I feel like the LBAM derailed into a commen...Why do I feel like the LBAM derailed into a comment on MY postings, not SeƱor Kerfuffle's? :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11017428.post-1163699330378087022006-11-16T12:48:00.000-05:002006-11-16T12:48:00.000-05:00As someone in an intense graduate creative writing...As someone in an intense graduate creative writing program, I can legitimately say "I don't have time to write a novel now" and mean it. I've got too many other writing projects going on. But I am continually amazed at the people who claim not to have time for things- whether it's going to the gym, to get their classwork done, whatever it happens to be- but can be found out at a local bar 3-4 nights a week till 1 AM. Clearly, idiots, you HAVE time, you just aren't choosing to spend it. <BR/><BR/>This principle applies to other things, as well. Every once in a while I hear snide comments from people to the effect of "I wish I could afford to go to grad school." Yes, well, so do I, jerk. Nobody except the wealthy can afford it- that's what loans, fellowships, scholarships, and grants are for. You are just choosing not to attempt to make use of them and using it as an excuse to bitch and moan about your dead end job. I hear it in relation to college, too, usually from people in their 6th year of junior college. They just won't admit that they are choosing the easy, lazy options. <BR/><BR/>Sorta derailed onto my own rant there. But the principle is the same. People like to whine and moan about things being out of their control that really are't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
