I think twitch has a lot to do with my life.
Like, I can't get anything done unless I just... twitch or some shit. Get it done little by little. That's how shit gets done in my life, like writing, reading, drawing, video games. Mostly shit like that. Don't know why. It might have something to do with watching butt loads of movies and TV in my younger days. Maybe that's why they say that shit will harm your brain and drain your imagination? But in my case, it's done completely the opposite. I feel like I have oodles of creativity wriggling around somewhere. I just have to squeeze it out bit by bit.
My twitch, I guess apart from TV and movies, might also stem from video games. I'm a guy who likes to play in short bursts mostly. I'll play fifteen minutes here, twenty minutes there until I get the shit done. I find I've been doing that a lot in other activities now, mainly the whole writing and drawing thing. But hell, that doesn't mean I can't sit down and concentrate and do one thing for five plus hours. I can still do that. But it really has to get me truckin' and I have to be really excited. Or else I get bored and move onto something else. I guess that's how I operate now.
But editing... I think that's the one thing I can sit down for over an hour and do. Of course, though, I can't do it right after finishing a piece of writing. I gotta dwell on it a little bit and come back after a length of time, because that will let me think of it as someone else's work. Because I'm absolutely convinced, in my conscious state of mind, that I can't edit my own work. If I leave that shit be it's like my smell has wafted away, and I know I can edit it.
Take this shitty blog post for instance. It's unedited now, duh, but who knows? Maybe I would want it to look pretty a few weeks, months, or years down the road.
