Perhaps some of you are like me, and harbor a vicious spark of anger deep within your soul. Rather than let it consume me from the inside out, I’ve decided to channel it; I’ve decided to wage war on the shortcomings that hold me back from accomplishing my goals. If rush hour eats into writing time, I will wake up early, beat traffic, go to a diner close to work, and knock out word count. If my energy levels suffer from dietary imbalances, I will condition my mind and digestion to accept healthier fare. If I fail to get results, I will examine the evidence, reassess, then re-aggress.
When I put function first, there’s no reason to give up and curse my environment, not until I’ve capitalized on every vantage I possibly can.

The signs of a true writer lol family and other things distract me from getting my word count

And that’s not a bad thing! Family comes first.
But sometimes, they have intentionally sabotaged me, LOL!

Similarly, I try to put all my time to use in the best way possible. Recently, I’ve picked up audible and turned my commute into an hour of listening and studying the writer’s craft. As for dietary imbalances though…. well, there’s always more coffee!

Coffee is life! And as gross as it sounds…bathroom time can be study time as well, LOL!

My job creeps into my writing time. Also exhaustion is a creativity killer. I’m not sure what to do about this … take on the lifestyle Rodolph in La Boheme perhaps?
Maybe I’m a lightweight; I haven’t found myself equal to that step. The most important thing, I think, is to keep giving whatever resources you can to the project.

I like to say that the first task of creativity is carving out time and resources to set aside for projects, while maintaining other obligations. I can’t say what’s right for you, as I’m not you, but I’ve found that an easy way to study is taking advantage of time spent in the bathroom, as gross as that sounds, LOL!

Anger is generally a waste of energy. Very good you turn it around and find other ways to avoid it. Smart man. (but, I knew that!)

Just tired of losing…I think I’m just impatient, haha! If I had to say I’m addicted to anything, I guess it would be results on a grand scale; I like to feel balanced and see everything working smoothly together, and produce stuff along the way.

Yeah, it seems like there’s so much opposition in life, so I usually revert to that mentality, and most of the time I find it a pretty functional lens to perceive things through.
