Having a responsibility massively increases my productivity in general, as I'll do anything to avoid the responsibility; including everything else I previously wasn't doing, before the priorities shifted.<br /><br />Finding a responsibility I find truly necessary, as opposed to indulgent, luxurious or frivolous in nature is the challenge.<br /><br />I imagine writing that was pleasantly cathartic =)<br /><br />Should I feel guilty for preferring the hot-french-velociraptor-combat?

I see the seed of an excellent novel here (called "Velociatlas Shrugged" of course).<br /><br />This is also legitimately much better than my non-throwaway work.

I want observations of the environment to feel more natural generally.<br /><br />I don't have a parallel approximation of a writing exercise at present for myself but I've only recently started on focusing on some personal creative projects seriously so maybe that will come later after having some experience under my belt and seeing how I need to improve.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12640723150250717462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979339353366878191.post-81885006728695269122010-10-30T21:35:30.054+01:002010-10-30T21:35:30.054+01:00It's only a throwaway piece, developed in twen...It's only a throwaway piece, developed in twenty minutes, but I'd love to know what you think. <br /><br />I can't claim that the end of this story isn't a little bit of a jab at video games. How many great video game narratives are there out there that haven't come under threat from someone somewhere proposing there be bigger guns, more explosions or jigglier tits?<br /><br />Does anyone here pursue a similar sort of regime to the one I've described above?Tom Juberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14570661671387482872noreply@blogger.com
