It gets hard sometimes, refraining from clicky, mindless computer games. I haven't played any of those since last October, so four whole months (with the exception of playing iPad games at home over winter break, but those were tappy games rather than clicky games, and now I can't play them anyway, seeing that I don't have any Apple products around me). Instead, when I feel the need to do something mindless, I go read manga online. Sometimes it gets bad if it's a series because then I need to finish the series, or catch up to its current point, before I can do anything else productive again. That was the case with Kimi ni Todoke two weeks ago. I read the whole thing up to the current chapter in three days. =_= So there's manga. Sometimes, fanfic, but I'm not as interested in it as I was before since I'm not into any particular fandom at the moment.

They're still a bad habit, the clicky games. Even if I don't play them anymore, the mentality is still there. I have the urge to spill some creative juices, so I open a story file or two. And look at it. And then I have the urge to play clicky games, so I go and read manga instead. I may have broken my addiction to clicky games, but I need to stop running from my Word files every time I open them because that's where the real problem lies.

New semester. I hardly wrote anything over break or my first week back at school. Watching Bakuman anime is inspiring though. I need to make some progress this weekend.
