Recently, I had done something that I never had done in the past when playing the game. I joined a raiding guild that specialized in the harder endgame content. And, sadly, it made me lose my passion for the game. First of all, it became like a second job. And one I would dread, I hated having to show up several nights a week to do dungeons, especially when it became tiresome, and we could not down bosses. And though I liked the guild I was with, they became tedious. There was one person in it, a mage, who claimed she was a woman, but I felt it was a 10 year-old boy. She was extremely tiresome, constantly chattering on vent, at times singing in Japanese. She was also a know-it-all who constantly had a better opinion, if you liked something she would say she hated it, and would rarely agree with anyone. Even worse was the tiresome chiding that would go back and forth among the guild members. And though I took part in it, I often felt like it was a waste, that if I had to tolerate people talking down to me I might as well be at work.
And that's just it, I lost my passion for it, and felt it was just a big waste of time.
I need to spend more time writing, but ... have I lost my passion for that too? I suppose not, since I enjoy writing in this blog, even though I have neglected it. So I have told myself that I will work on the book more. Even the economic books say you should have a second business, and I have finally told myself that writing should be mine, since it is definitely something I have a passion for, even when the love wanes.
