Interestingly, I get a chance to write essays in the same style I write my blog. The topics are freeform and naturally about the observations I make everyday. At first, I found it fantastic and exciting that I could do something I loved doing, thinking that I could write so easily.
But now, it\’s the third essay. And for some reason, I am hitting a writer\’s block. I find myself procrastinating–writing this entry, organizing my photos, writing in my lyrics text, writing in my journal, checking e-mail, sending e-mail. Everything but writing the essay.
All I can think of is…I want to sleep.
It\’s always like that, isn\’t it? When something you love doing becomes your job, you lose almost complete interest in it. It\’s something you have to do rather than something you take interest in on the side–a hobby. Why is it so difficult to do?
Such is life. Get a job that\’s fexible enough to let you do you hobby.
I think the key is that there\’s enough dynamism in your job so that it can keep providing fresh angles on your hobby.
My inspiration for these essays usually comes from \”Hey, I have a point to make. I wonder if the professor will call on me so I can make it. Hmm. Nope! I guess I\’ll have to write an essay.\”
We\’re a unique group in the class, so anything we have to say should be interesting, right?
b/c someone tells you that you must.
where\’s the joy w/o the choice.
i work everyday doing what i\’ve wanted to do for most of my life knowing that i can quit any day and be fine.
