It’s really bothering me lately that I don’t have time to write at all. I’ve been piling up plenty of ideas and have about 150 stashed away that I’d like to write about sometime. The sad thing is I rarely have the time to sit down and flesh out my ideas.

Rather than not posting at all I’m probably going to try to do more lists and posts with scattered thoughts and links.

School right now really is the antithesis to the creative process. The extreme repetition and regularity of rather uncreative assignments does not permit the open ended freedom I need to delve into creative process. A half hour here and there simply doesn’t work. I need less mandated work and more time to work on what I’m passionate about. We all do. I don’t even have time to go into a pedantic rant now about how schools need to change, though expect that sometime in the distant future.

I’m not going to say I don’t have the time, because it annoys me how many people complain about how they don’t have the time to do things they care about. If you care about something make time. But honestly, right now I care more about creating than talking, and I care more about learning than writing about what I’m learning. Ideally I’d like to do both. If I had more control over my life I would make time. But my high school requires an unhealthy amount of work, and ignoring it just isn’t a very realistic option right now. I have been making a lot of progress on Force For the Future and I’m really excited about where it’s headed.

Keep up with me on twitter. I’m pretty active there. But writing a lot here just isn’t very feasible right now.
