Oh My Games!!





Why? How? What?

Seriously, how do I get sucked into these games? I have too many other things to do. Besides being a productive member of society (sort of), a parent, and having a full-time job, I have to carve out time to write.

And then there are the games. I don’t have the time for this. I really don’t. And yet, here I am, playing games when I should be doing other things. Sometimes I want to scream, sometimes pull out my hair. I know I need to just stop, so instead, I add another game to the mix.

I shake my head at myself. I really do, but I have become nearly obsessed (explains the title of this blog) with these games. It’s insane.

Wannabe Challenge
Obey Me!
Disney Twisted-Wonderland
Ikémen Prince
 
My daughter’s trying to get me into Genshin Impact, but I think I ended up corrupting her and getting her into Obey Me! (Sidenote: I find it hilarious that spellcheck wanted to change Genshin to Kenshin. It knows how much I adore that man in Ikémen Sengoku.)
 
It sounds like an excuse, but seriously, I love the artwork of these games. They all have cards to collect, and they are just beautiful. And I do really love the stories. They’re all so different and fascinating. After investing money in these games, I just worry that there will be no way to keep these stories and artwork once they are no longer updated. There really needs to be a way to save those.
 
To be completely honest, playing Obey Me! makes me feel incredibly guilty. Demon game with Lucifer and Satan—even though I go out of my way to pronounce it Sa-tan—yeah, it definitely gives me guilty feelings. I go back and forth, deleting it off my phone and then reinstalling it. Dang interesting story that keeps me involved! I just wish…
 
Anyway, for something not so time-consuming and in-depth, I play Disney Magic Kingdoms. I like building my own part, but come on, it takes so much time to collect enough magic to open up new land. I have so many attractions that I can’t place. Though there’s not enough land available for them all anyway. That’s my go-to game to just have something to do, that or coloring. I enjoy that, too.
 
Okay, looking over this, thinking about the other games I play, I’ve reached the conclusion that I play way too many games.
 
I haven’t even mentioned the Superstar Music games I play for all my K-pop.
 
Ugh
 
No wonder I never post on here. Besides the fact that I can’t see anyone being interested in my normal everyday life or thoughts, I just don’t figure anyone really wants to read this. But putting all of that aside, I apparently have way too many games.
 
I want my full-time job to be writing. I love it. I love crafting new ideas and turning them into something. I love creating characters. I love everything about it. If I could support myself and my kid doing that, I can’t even begin to imagine how happy I would be. And I have a highly detailed imagination! But if I couldn’t be paid to write, my next dream job would be making a living playing game.
 
Okay, so I’ve rambled as my games did their normal logging in for check-ins. Now I’m going to work on a book. I need to be somewhat productive today!

Writing, Pandemic, and Animal Crossing New Horizons

I think the first step to fixing any problem is admitting to said problem. A person can’t move forward until they address the issues. I have a problem. I am a procrastinator. I have always lived by the mantra of “Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow.” But there is a problem with that. Finally, you just get to the part where you’re so bogged down that you can never seem to find your way back up. It would be easy to blame my lack of writing on stress from this COVID, and while I have had stress, I don’t’ think it’s from that. I don’t know about you, but when we’re self-isolating up here it seems that the world is “normal.” When you stay to yourself, you get complacent. And while the news was filled with reports on new cases, supply shortages, and deaths, being in my home, I could put it all out of my mind and focus—dwell—on what was my main source of stress—my daughter’s high school graduation. But it doesn’t matter. I still keep putting things off, and ...

New Series Coming!

  Anyone who knows me knows that I’m random and slightly chaotic. I’ve been accused of living in a fantasy world most of my life. I don’t believe that’s accurate. Trust me, I know what is real or not. But there is something to that comment. There is always some story, some idea running through my head. I know my family and friends (talking about you, Heather, lol) get exasperated with me for always having new ideas. Everyone is like, finish this one first. Believe me, I want to; I truly do. My mind is just a jumbled, chaotic mess of ideas, though. I try to write bits and pieces down, so I won’t forget them. Plus, that helps so I can continue on with what I need to be working on. While working on the Dark Series, with Dark Secrets and Dark Whispers, one day in the summer, an idea came to me. And while I just was going to write a bit so I could keep it in my folder of ideas, it turned out to be something more. During that summer, I completed the entire book. It’s a completely differ...

To Blog or Not to Blog

  I still hate blogs, or not blogs but writing about myself. Seriously, I don’t find myself interesting enough for anyone to want to read any of this. Even I would rather live in the worlds I can create from my imagination, so why would anyone want to know about my real life? But I’m going to try to give this a shot again. I know I have to put the time into it. I recently had someone ask me why I wanted to sell books. My immediate response was, “I want people to read my stories.” They were surprised by that—I know I was—as they thought I would say I want to make millions. They said everyone else they asked that same question responded about tons of money. I started thinking about my answer more later. Would I like to make money doing this? Absolutely. I would love to be able to do this full-time. But it’s not so much that I want to make millions—I’m not going to complain if somehow that were to happen—but honestly, I would just like for this to be my job, for me to be able to m...
