I’m Tired…
I’ve recently been working on three super-long articles in the past few days, and they’ve all been over 1,000 words so far. Two of them have been over 2,000 words long. Hell, I had been assigned to write an online casino review that was supposed to be around 3,000 words long, but I had to decline it since I was so busy with the one of the 2,000-word-long articles at the time.
And believe me, those articles weren’t easy to knock out. It took three to four days of hardcore research to get these babies done, and that doesn’t even count the revisions I had to do (revision= hell)! Oh, gone are the days where I could knock out a 500-word article in one day (or a couple of hours if I was lucky)! Nowadays, 1000 words is considered short by my standards.
And it’s not like I got many breaks from these constantly long articles. Oh, no! As soon as I got finished with one article, I was assigned another long article, and so on and so on. God, no wonder many people advise against choosing writing as a career!
It doesn’t help that I get distracted easily, either. I don’t know if it’s the autism or what, but I’ve recently been getting distracted by Sonic the Hedgehog fan art while I’m writing articles, and it’s always during the long ones, too! Why am I getting distracted by Sonic the Hedgehog content, especially when I’m supposed to be writing these super long articles?! Do I have ADHD? I wouldn’t be surprised if the answer was “yes”.
…I guess you can say that I’m tired. I’m exhausted. I want a break. I’m tired of staying up half the night to work on an article. I miss focusing my energy on writing stupid stories and aimless articles on this website, and I miss drawing characters- original and official characters alike. I don’t want to lose my job, and I don’t want to go through a long drought of no assigned articles, but I don’t want long article after long article, either! A little consistency would be nice here. Maybe I can do one or two long articles and some short articles during the duration of a month. That would be nice, wouldn’t it?
…Oh, well. At least I get more money the more words the articles have, so that’s something good, right? Yeah, more money is always good, especially in these times. Anyways, consider this a vent post or a public diary entry of some sort if you want to. I just needed to get this off of my chest, and I couldn’t come up with anything better, so… yeah. In the immortal words of Sonic the Hedgehog in Sonic CD when you go too long without playing the game-
I’m out of here!
