Mentally Constipated

For the last year and a half or so, I've been seriously lagging in my creativity. A good part of that problem I'd say has been the all-consuming WoW. Now, I'm not blaming the game, I made the choice to play it, it's been a fun romp, and I really liked being able to adventure with my friends virtually, since I'd have given myself a heart-attack if I ever had to run as much in real life as I did the 1st 40 levels. My problem here is the time investment. I spend so much time playing, my other interests have fallen by the wayside. I can't recall the last book I read, and I'm a guy who used to read 3 books at a time. My art has suffered since I haven't really kept working at it or pursuing more art-type challenges, or the ones that I have, I totally dropped the ball on. A big apology to you here Batman.   Plus other factors have cropped up to make the game just not-fun for me anymore. My friends still message me asking for me to log in, which I do for a little while, but I have no heart in it anymore. I'm sure I'll check out the new expansion when it comes out, explore a little bit and see what's new, but I'm done with it for now. My lady and her son both like to play it when they're here, so I won't be canceling my account or anything cold-turkey like. So, with my new time, I've decided to try to pick up the pencil again. I've drawn a couple of my buddies WoW toons, and I took up Codemonkey's request looking for some fantasy art for his flash game, just to try and get my drawing chops back. I have a mess of rpg ideas I want to pursue. I miss the good ol' days of tabletop gaming with real people and rolling dice. Awhile back I posted my post-apocalyptic setting concept, and I have an idea for a D&D setting I want to develop and see about getting published in either pdf or dead-tree form. And on top of that, I'd like to re-tool XenoPWN into a faster game. Not to mention I have a few Warhammer40k minis I'd like to paint,...~sigh~ too many hobbies. But, first things first, gotta pick up that pencil. Hopefully, I can get comfortable enough drawing again and pick up the projects that have sat on the back-burner for too long.
