Howdy Folks, It's been well more than a month since my last Blog Post. Sorry about that. It does mean however that I have been busy. In fact, I just finished writing a new draft of a chapter for Book 2 in the Blue-Collar Noble series. And now what I really want to do is reward myself for this effort. Specifically, I really want to play a video game I have been waiting several years to play: Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord. But I'm NOT going to do that.
Because if I did, it would send me down a video game addict hole for weeks. Would I enjoy it? YES! FOR SURE! Would I be professionally productive? Probably not. Maybe some of you can relate? I'm a novelist who is inspired by video games in my writing...but if I want to remain a novelist, I should avoid playing video games. Oh, irony. So I have made this promise to myself that I will not play 'Mount & Blade 2' until my next book is finished. I know it sounds like I'm playing a tiny violin...and I am...but this is one of many reasons why after I finish writing this blog post I'm going to start writing the next chapter in my book. |
