Problems Maintaining Attention and Focus

I seem to have quite a problem maintaining focus on anything. The problem seems to be getting worse lately, and I think I realised why I started talking to myself at some point. Talking to myself helps me maintain focus. I know it's not a matter of interest. I find the same thing happening while I'm gaming. I can drift away halfway while playing a game of DotA, Gears of War, and so on. Needless to say, I won't be getting very far in terms of skill level.

It's also one of the causes of me posting not very regularly on the blog. I'll write properly for about 15 minutes, and then buzz off to somewhere else.

(It took me 2 hours to finish writing this, I wrote, stopped halfway for an good 1.5 hours, and continued again.)

As a note: it's always been a problem, it's just becoming one hell of a noticeable lately. And it's getting worse. :D

Gaming and Rewriting the Story

I have actually been pretty occupied in real life. I've been gaming a lot lately. My friends have been introducing me to the wealth of Warcraft III custom maps. I've not been playing DotA much, and I still suck at it. :P Among the few maps I've been playing include Pimp Defense, Gem TD, Massacre TD Solo, 7 Hero Siege and I myself have been trying hard to learn mazing techiques using a flash game called Desktop TD. I can assure you though that I haven't gone back and rewritten the story yet. I have been heavily rethinking the story and continuously revising it. While I can already rewrite the first two chapters as I intended and repairing certain foreshadowing facts which went wrong already. Imagine, only two chapters and already an error. I'm holding off in the meantime and planning it a little bit more carefully. :D

Random Idea 15th April 2007

The day will come, when the army of one will fight an army of several hundred thousand. That one will be the victor. The most fearsome of all combatants, the most skilful - and the most cruel. That person will be the army of one - against the rest of the world. Fighting a war with a purpose so significant no one will know what it is. A war so important, that one person will fight for no reason other that the fact that the belief that it is the right way. And so - the war begins.
