Screw this, I'm just gonna marathon it. · 9:24pm Mar 21st, 2016
Yup. At the rate I've been writing and considering all the free time I currently have, I've decided to just cane the writing for Non-Entity. If all goes well the story should be finished before the end of the month.
If I do things this way then the story will be done and I won't have to feel guilty about it anymore. It's taking up my life, and while I don't necessarily have any other pressing things to do at this current stage in my life, I would like to be able to concentrate on other things. I've noticed this is the way my brain works. I have trouble concentrating on anything else when I become really absorbed in something. It doesn't matter what it is. When I had a job I loved I ate, breathed and drank that job, even doing extra work at home and reading up everything I could about the subject, not because I had to but because I was completely obsessed and wanted to. When I worked on animation as a student I'd stay up until 3am drawing every frame while I downed a bottle of red wine. I'd wake up at 9am the next morning and start work again. (I can't do this anymore because I'm 'old'.)
So it doesn't matter what it is. I become utterly and wholly absorbed in something when I work on it, and that currently seems to be the case with this story.
So, here we go! :S
I feel guilty admitting that I'm happy at the prospect that you've decided that you are going to work on it after all.
Just don't overwhelm yourself. It's certainly fine to change your mind later on and attend to other things that are more important.
And I do understand how you feel, I have a lot of trouble task switching when I'm immersed in something. Sometimes a project can become all-consuming for a while. Being in the zone counts for a lot, especially when it comes to writing. I'm awful at writing large stories in small snippets because I tend to get writer's block, but if I end up in the zone I'll keep obsessively thinking about my story even when I'm supposed to be doing ten dozen other things.
Anyway I'm coming out of lurk mode and will try to respond to or review each chapter from here on out.
Good luck with everything! I mean seriously!
In that case, I'd better review that next chapter before the others pop up. I don't wanna get too far behind!!!
I respect your drive! I gotta come back and kick my one ongoing story pretty hard in the butt one of these days. I never wanted it to run this long without an update, but it's like my muse is just a supermassive black hole on this one.
(Because Muse, and... I'm done now.)

Dude, I'm actually *relieved* I don't have to write anymore lol.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed writing it, but my obsessive personality when it comes to projects frightens me. I end up not eating or sleeping very well. It might have something to do with the Bipolar and having energy and hypomania drive me on, but I inevitably crash and burn. Today I have caught up on sleep, and tomorrow I shall eat a healthy meal once more!
