Two months game-free
4 years ago
Don't do it first. Do it better.
As of today, the last time I played a video game was two months ago. I've gone, by far, the longest without playing video games ever since I actually owned games, which would be since my eighth birthday (and probably sooner if you count computer games that I can't remember anymore).
I didn't plan it this way. Over a few weeks before April 15, I was just kind of losing interest in that and focusing more on writing now that I had something I wanted to finish. But a month later, I noticed I was doing just fine without it, and time that would otherwise be spent gaming was spent writing, and it was so satisfying to feel like I could still do it and that I might actually finish something.
It took somewhere around the end of May before I finally noticed, what the heck, I haven't played a video game in a month and a half.
But, no, it looks like...with how work and stuff is, I can't have it all, like I used to.
Now the challenge is to see how long I can keep it up. And I have more ideas for what I want to write that might make me take that challenge.
