It's not that my mind hasn't been on Intersection at all, it's just hard carving out moments to actually put words on a page or to tweak the legions of unrefined prose that had been previously haphazardly strung together.
Add to that the fact that the longer you stay away from the source material, the harder it is to get back into the right frame of mind and to carry on wherever you left off. And I've so much I've neglected lately, thanks to a copywriting gig that had eaten at most of my creative juices of late. (Not that corporate gigs are all that creative; it's just whenever you have to focus on these kinds of tasks, it leaves little brain left for producing original content, which is what you're after when it comes to your own personal/passion projects).
I suppose these all seem like excuses to you, dear Reader. Truly sorry to disappoint. This aspiring author here isn't quite as prolific as she'd like to be.
But well, I haven't 100% given up yet. So I guess that's at least one good thing.
Although seeing the many successes of other people is disheartening. I mean... not that I am not happy for them. I'm glad for them, and I'm sure they deserve every bit of whatever they've accomplished. But it's just... it'd be nice if my life wasn't always in such stark contrast to everybody else's. That for a change, it was I who was the one reveling in a highly illustrious writing portfolio. One that consists of the things I desire to achieve, not the paid work that I am obligated to complete.
Anyway, there's some time to spare tonight, even if just a little. So let's hope the dawn brings with it something significant to show.
Chen Hao's been making good progress in his ghastly journey lately. I guess I should too. He and I, we're pretty similar in many ways after all.
See you guys in the pages of the story. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
