I'm no longer sick, and most of the moving related stuff is done, so I should be able to start updating this journal a bit more often... assuming I can think of something interesting to post.
Right now, I don't have much to talk about, except my progress in BOTW. I have made it past the qualifying round, and have now just completed my entry for the first main round. And I have had something reinforced to me by my participation in this competition, and that is that I have a serious issue with the way I write things.
The problem is that I can be a bit of a perfectionist at times. That isn't always a bad thing, but it rears its head in a stupid way with my writing. When I am writing something, such as a BOTW entry, I have trouble even getting anything down, because I am constantly rewriting sentences and paragraphs over and over again. Most people write a rough draft and refine it, I write a hundred rough drafts of individual sentences and paragraphs and try to refine them.
Stupid, especially considering that by the time I do have my entire entry or paper typed out, I still have to refine it, because now I see how everything flows together and notice things I missed before.
If I could just write a rough draft of something, without trying to make it perfect as soon I type it, I think I would enjoy writing even more and be much quicker at it. Fortunately, I am getting better at doing this as I write more.
Anyways, I've rambled on enough for one entry.
