Five-Hundred Word Challenge 1318: Too Much, and yet, not Enough

Slow days, or fast days. Days lost within a stupor of engaging in something without the discipline to stop when I need to. Too much gaming, and yet, not enough.

Sometimes I wonder if what I’m really writing when I write reviews is writing by myself.

Wait, I don’t ever wonder that.

Anyway, sometimes I wonder about what I’m saying when I write reviews. Am I talking about whatever it is that I’ve engaged with, or am I talking about something in the purview of parts of society, or society overall? Is there anything that can be said at this point, or have I run out of things to say? Still, I persist.

The last few days were meant to be much more productive but they weren’t and that’s okay. Sometimes that’s what happens. I got some things done but they were spent mostly staring at a screen for something I will write about at some point in the future. There was too much of that staring and so I got little done, but that’s okay. It could be much worse.

I could’ve spent the time doing less than nothing and that’s something I’d much prefer to not have done, so time spent. However, now the challenge comes in forming the thoughts and seeing if I can articulate them in a way that doesn’t read like a report.

There’s also the challenge of how much more should I engage with the object in which I will eventually discuss. Generally when I cover something I prefer to get to its end. Sometimes that can change how something is viewed; as such, I don’t think it is ever a good idea to write about something if I haven’t reached its conclusion.

Now that I’ve said that I need to work out what else there is to say, but there isn’t much of anything. I’ve lost a lot of time but I can make up for it, but I need to work for it in order to make up for it and if I don’t do that, then… yeah. I guess that would be it, or something.

Well, it wouldn’t be it. Life goes on but I’d rather spend it being more productive than not doing much of anything, but maybe that’s how things go sometimes. The main thing is to get back up where I can and then keep going from there, and… yeah.

It’s easy to say things sometimes but there’s always a need to try and back up what you’re saying. Words can be empty without action; not always, but they can and I think that’s important to keep in mind. I could try and be more productive but unless I actually am then I’m not saying much in this particular instance.

Now that I think about it, bed is far more comfy than this chair and so maybe I’ll just go back to losing myself in a screen

That said, I’m too lazy for that so I won’t.

Maybe.

The time it took to write five-hundred words:07:53:09

I think the speed is decent, but the writing is crap.
Honesty throughout it but I look at this and wonder how I could make it better, and perhaps I couldn’t; not at this moment, anyway.

Written at home.
