jon_chaissonDuring the month of December I tried something out: I wanted to get back into the habit of daily writing at 750Words, but instead of focusing on trying to be constantly creative or working on another project, I focused only on just getting words out. Any words, whether it was a personal ramble or working out a stubborn plot issue. Didn't matter what I wrote, as long as I wrote it. That was the whole point: the focus was on just doing it, no matter what 'it' was. And at by the end of the month, I was back in the habit. I still have Don't Wanna days, but it's a lot easier to get through them now. I just power through and get it done.
Basically saying this now, because this is something I realize I need to do with my other creative outlets as well. I've gotten a little better these last couple of days, getting back to journaling and artwork, though I still need to carve out some time for my guitars! Again, I'm not necessarily focusing on creating something big or important, I just want to focus on doing it, making it a normal everyday habit again.
Meanwhile, I just need to get through the next four work days at the Day Job, then I have a full week off! A vacation already, you ask? Well, this is what happens when my birthday is in January and I finally have a day job where I don't have to fight to take a few days off. We're not planning to go anywhere far, just a few day trips here and there and enjoying the time off. I will of course try to continue my daily creative work when and where I can, but I'm definitely looking forward to this little break!
