As time goes on it seems that life gets more and more busy.
And yet for some stupid reason I seem to gain more and more hobbies. Go figure.
I’ve had my rather awesome Canon HV20 HDV camcorder for a while now, and other than a few snippets of my son trying to walk I’ve barely gotten to use it. It’s one of those things where I want to go out and shoot some scenes, especially as there are some very movie-esque areas around here. But there just doesn’t seem to be much time to go out and do something just because I want to. Just about everything has to have a reason or benefit or I have difficulty justifying the time. Is it just me or is that sad? Are our lives really that over-run with stuff that there’s no time to do something just because we want to?
Then there’s my script. I started writing it, finally. A few pages of the beginning, and a few pages of the middle are written. I just have a hard time finding the time to write more. Sure I know, I’m writing this and could be working on my script, but this is something I can write here and there over time and publish when it’s finished. The constant interruptions don’t affect this as much, where-as when writing my script, I really need to just focus on the writing for long periods of time to really get flowing. And on top of the script I’ve started, I have two more script ideas I want to get down. Someday I’ll get the chance I suppose.
So what is it…is it just me that has this problem? Do I just have screwed up priorities and other people have time for their hobbies? Or is this something everyone faces?
