Real life trumps e-life every day of the week. That is a good life maxim. So this past weekend I had a pretty good time. Caught a concert. Drank some very fine wine. Laid down some sick bass riffs. All in all I got a chance to relax.
It's good to relax like that. Get away from the grind especially when your work is consistently calling on you to be creative.
I've worked at a ton of different jobs. I've done service, office, labor, management, executive level leadership. All of them have their joys and concerns. The hardest and most rewarding job is the one that I'm doing right now.
Writing seems like an easy thing. It is insanely hard because you are constantly tasked with being creative. You are taxing your brain constantly in the generative effort of new thought. I'm not complaining - just descriptive of the work.
Then you have to go back and edit (which is why I love blogging so much - because it tends to be stream of thought for me and one takes often generate more ideas that I can translate into my work life)..
All of this is mentally taxing. This is why time off is so important for the writer. To go and do something different, new, uplifting, inspiring, embarrassing, legendary...so that your brain taps into new sources of experience and somehow turns them into something worthwhile and awesome.
Or at least passable enough to get past your editor's desk!
So it was a good weekend. YouTube is being all "read-only" bitchy right now so I'll have a Minecraft video up at some point. I'll do a Bones one when I'm up to it. I'm still waffling on Sims4.
Also - I will have some song vids up soon. I just haven't felt inspired to record much. I'm sure I'll get a rainy day somewhere.
Have a good one.
Wikky.
