This is the main problem I've been having lately. Hell, I've always had this issue. Not that I really am but I always just try to be effecient with my time. This usually means things like reading, playing Ds or writing are usually reserved for my bus rides to and from work, as well as on break. It really isn't efficient to say the least. This wasn't so bad when I was heavily focused on my writing like I was back in Nov/Dec. It's not to say that I'm not motivated but sometimes I just don't have the drive to put thoughts on paper. Notepad. Whatever. At least I'm actually writing right now, whatever it is.
It only really bothers me because I know a huge deterrant for me lately is my phones internet access. Hell, throw in having to primarily type on a phone as a main issue too. It's SUCH a pain, but it works. Stupid Internet addiction. I've been a bit better lately (wrote a fair bit yesterday, writing this right now), but who knows how long that'll last.
There's also the issue of non-story related ideas cropping up, but that's become less of an issue as it was in the past. I used to be quite 'flavor of the month' with what I worked on. At least now if I get an 'OMG greatest idea everrrs' idea I'm realistic about it. That awesome groundbreaking game idea I have wont come to fruition, nor will my new take on mecha anime idea come to fruition. This novel IS possible, so it takes precidence. That's what I keep telling myself anyways.
I think I just need to get a crappy old laptop with no Internet connection and set aside 45m a day period on top on my bus/break writing to write. That would solve like... All my problems. I need to look into this.
Word count: 15000some. Haven't updated my yWriter file in a bit. I'll find out later
"You know, who's to say there's even going to be an attack?"
"Could just be another trick."
"I'd rather be ready for an attack and have a quiet night then be caught unawares!"
"Yeah!"
Frustration showed blatantly on Arnval's face as he rubbed his temples. With a raised voice he spoke above the conversation, "Thank the Fae that we can trust lady Deflorin not to spread this rumor and incite panic."
Everyone else was suddenly silent in embarassment.
"It's ok captain. Most here just think of me as one of the guys because I can keep up with any of them in the bar or battlefield. Not their fault that their manlyness pales to my own," I said with a provoking grin and a sip of my ale. "In all seriousness though, is the rumor true?"
