Much has happened in the realm of Sylvhara, yet i have a feeling of frustration. I have been honored as a knight of the realm but still the quests are on hold. I also feel my character has stagnated a bit. Nothing is happening except reactions and there is nothing new or exciting about the dragons or my character. Perhaps that is why i continue to loose members.
I have remembered something that i have known in the past. Too much of one thing leads to stagnation. I "hang around" too much. I come online to get things done yet get caught into conversations that detour my train of thought. And then at the end of the day i hang out again, hoping for more interaction, cutting into my sleep. And so passes another day with nothing much accomplished and a bit deprived of the one thing that would help my creativity, my sleep.
For my real life as well as my second life, i need to spend less time there. If i go for a walk, do my art, do other things i will get ideas that i can apply there. I need not be there to get those ideas, in fact being away helps the ideas mature. I can even put them down on paper and think about them again and again, refining them.
Yes there are times when i need to be in world but not 24/7. It is better for my health, my real life as well as my second life that i break this habit.

I find this too - but my problem is that the creativity I want to pursue is within SL - but I let too many things distract me. In my case, perhaps it would be better to give up TAW instead of SL :)
These sound like very wise and healthy words, Malie. As my great grandmother used to say, "Too much plenty no good." Balance in all things is always a worthy goal, and helps one stay fresh and possibly even sane. I hope things work out well for you in Sylvhara.

Sometimes it's like holidays... you think it would be amazing to be on holiday all the time, but then, what would you have to look forward to?
