So...what now? · 1:04am Jul 28th, 2014
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I have writer's block. Which is not even a real thing, which is basically the reverse of the placebo effect. I'm not saying I'm depressed or anything like some people are when a lack of inspiration hits them. Sure, I have battled such a feat but the fact that I lack any good ideas doesn't necessarily make me depressed.
For a very long time my life has lacked any balance. It would be nice if I had the time and equipment to do digital art because I would be pretty good at it. Or if I had more access to video games, because I would love to broaden my horizons in the gaming world. I would also like to have my own high tech computer in my room but who's got the money for that? All I can afford is a netbook that doesn't can't even run videos, let alone Microsoft word. So I'm stuck with wordpad, which doesn't have a word cut and it won't even spell check for you. Well that's pretty much useless now isn't it? That's precisely the point I'm trying to make.
So the point I'm trying to make is that the only time I get to write in peace and quiet is here at my grandmother's house where I do homeschooling. But while I'm writing this I'm supposed to be doing my lessons on Shakespearean literature and the geography of my so called 'nation.' Pretty unimportant if you ask me. It's not like I want to live here when I'm older so why does it even matter?
Enough of my ramblings though. I would like to thank everyone go gave Generosity, My Dear Applejack the time of day and to anyone who bothered giving it a thumbs up. You all have my thanks.
I guess for now I will get as much work out of the way as I can and start thinking up some ingenuous way of getting some inspiration back. History's brightest intellectuals used habit as a way of getting inspiration. I watched a video about it once and realised that I should do something that would allow me to be a creative space of mind. Even for just an hour a day, staring at a blank word document and writing the first thing that comes to mind.
Heck, just writing this blog has really cleared my mind already. I'm running out of time so I better wrap this out and fill you in on the rest of the story at a later date.
My feelings of late:
- Crystal Secret
That's sad.
I too would like a high-tech computer, mine is like 8 years old now. However I still haven't found a game I wanted to play that I couldn't run at what i would call decent performance.
As for writing if you can't run Word you could try Libre office, don't know how much lighter it is on the computer.
Write Monkey and Focuswriter should be lighter and features the things you are missing in wordpad. Just remember you have to install the dictionaries for the spell-checking separately.
Hopefully this will be of some help.
