Hmm.

The problem with doing paid work that involves research, reading, and writing is that I'm far less inclined to want to do research, read, and/or write when I get home.

This obvious observation has been brought to you by a pretty interesting project that is nevertheless sapping my will to be creative.

I sit in front of six computer screens at work, makes it hard for me to sit still in front of yet another one when I come home and ought to be writing. : )

If only we didn't have to work . . .

Sometimes I feel that way. But then I recently didn't work for about a year (late 2012 through most of 2013) and I wasn't that much more productive creatively. I haven't really figured out the balance yet. Still, nice to know it's not just me. :)

Cheerful memories of my reading drought during uni years.

Oh yes. Although for me that was more grad school than college. Somehow in college I was able to carve out at least a little more time for it.

Spend six hours writing requirements at work -> no thank you I will not be developing character analyses when I get home.

I hear you.
