RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist#Writephant 2026.0330 — A4. Does playing games refill your writing well? How so (or why not)?
What I acknowledge playing hashtag writing challenges is that I am writing, practicing, getting it done everyday, even if it isn't the novel or other projects. Not writing regularly, even when I'm not feeling it, would weigh on me further. Often, I am writing essays about what I am working on. Other times I am revising a tract to use as an excerpt; real work. Sometimes it is getting the scut work done. Yesterday, I wrote out the full cast of characters for the current WIP, each with a bit of description, nicknames, and hints of plot—which today I inserted as a reference into the Scrivener project. Definitely worthwhile.
Does it refuel me? Well, it maintains me flying level at cruising altitude.
Procrastination with purpose?
