I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that I hate writing for acadeamia. I seriously hate it. And one of the reasons I hate it is because I have spent the past 6 years trying to write novels and short stories... And have one complete novel to show for it.
I now realize one of the reasons why I was unable to complete any novels/short stories before that time was because I was focused on writing papers that I really didn't care about. Not that I cared about this past 10 page paper I had to write either. It also turns out that I don't care for trying to preserve old buildings. Tear them down and build something new. Space is a commodity that cannot be set aside for the memory of some bygone day... But that is desides the point.
As I sit here, contemplating the issue I now face- mostly why am I still trying to get into grad school when I seriously never want to write another academic paper AGAIN- I am also waiting for my computer to defrag.
You see, I have learned recently that I cannot work in a void- I need music to keep me going. Yesterday my sound system decided to stop working. I am trying everything- including installing a new sound thingamajig to get my sound back. It is vastly frustrating since this means that I have to rely on other sources for my music to provide that background noise that helps me write...
Ah well. Hopfully this latest step will make everything all better and I can go back to doing what I do best- pretending I am going to work on something when in reality I am just going to be watching the latest TV episode...
