The Write Stuff
"Stay up all night, writing and writing, like 25 pages of dribble...just to fucking write."
On most nights, this is my internal feelings. I just want to write, write, and fucking write. That's why I have a blog, a poker blog, a website, etc. I love writing, I just don't. With everything going in my life so hectic and fast paced as it is, it's tough to justify sitting down and just writing. I wish I wrote for a magazine, with deadlines and a theme. I wish I was writing a book. I had an idea for one, but I'm really not sure the world out there wants to read it. I know that's really no excuse not to write it, but it's difficult because at this stage in my life, I want results. I don't want to have a 300 page book that's just going to be read by me and my friends.
I'm one big break from completely changing my life around. God help you all should I get enough money to not work 9-5.
But back to the original point. Should I keep writing just to write? Random blogs, poker journals...or should I spend that time trying to organize thoughts into a book?

I say keep writing just to do it. You'll get better at it and then the book and anything else you want to write will come much easier, even in the confines of your 9-5 life. I tried focusing on a book once and would only write for that. The book isn't even close to complete and now I'm trying to get back into the habit of writing everyday. I wish I had never lost that habit because I enjoyed it, it was an escape for me no matter what I was writing.
