The Problems Thread

For what it's worth, earthexe, I've enjoyed Great Haven even if I don't suggest in it often. I should probably be saying that more.

You noted in the "say nice things" thread that I'm productive. (And I found your post there really gratifiying in general) Part of that is just that I don't worry too much about finishing a particular project. I just try to think of what I can do today, and sometimes that's not even for a purpose beyond, well, writing something today that I didn't write yesterday.

Right now I'd describe my life as in something of a holding pattern. Thing is, it's a better holding pattern than I was in a few years ago, before I started writing regularly. I still feel kind of directionless from time to time, but it helps me a little that I can say, with confidence, "I love writing".

I guess what I'm trying to say is, it can be helpful to figure out just what you really feel passionate about, and learn to enjoy doing it even if you're not working in any particular direction.

This may just be babbling because it's 1 AM and I've been telling people which rules their posts break for a few hours, but if it helps, let me just say right out that you're always welcome here.
