Yeah, that's how it is for me. I do it because it's fun, not because I'm actually talented.
I've been accused of "faking it" in the ER before because I'd sing. It keeps me calm. My doctor even refers to it as "self-soothing." I'd bring a guitar in if I could.
They'd probably pull the plug on me, though.
And admittedly I fall into the stereotypical section of primarily enjoying metal, though I like to think that what I actually play is something more of a combination of blues and metal.
I mostly play folk and rock, this being primarily based on my skill set. That and I hate setting up and tearing down, so I play acoustic guitar mostly. I leave my keyboard running more than I should so I can just walk over and bang on it.
Escapist posts are quite easy to write, aren't they?
I'd say they practically write themselves, but I think sometimes they DO. I swear, some days I don't remember writing these things.
I haven't finished anything solidly enough to consider being published, but writing has always been one of my strong points. I was (possibly stereotypically) never all that social growing up, even though I made friends very easily in school, so I spent most of my free time either playing games, reading, or writing, and that's pretty much shaped what my talents are today.
I spent a lot of time daydreaming. I've been trying to write something since I was fourteen, and I finally got there. I've written a couple things I don't like and a couple I do. I'm trying to do an Urban Fantasy series set in Boston, with one book completed and a second in edit. There's a third, but I don't know what to do with it because certaine vents are a little too close to actual recent events there for my tastes.
I mostly need to get my ass in gear, but I've had back problems for the last couple of years and they take more out of you than you'd think. Sitting and writing can be a pain if I do it for more than a few minutes, which means I have the threshold to surf the web but not to seriously write. A couple years ago, I was really prolific. Not necessarily GOOD, but prolific.
'Course, it probably helps that there's fuck-all to do in Vermont if you don't like hunting.
There's cow tipping. And gay marriage. Of course, I've married all the gays and tipped most of the cows, so I'm kind of tapped.
