It's actually what I try to do with my world building. Of course, I still fail at least half the days... For me, the idea of world building month really provided some motivation. I guess it's because I suddenly had some sort of goal, or purpose, to what I am doing. I like that, Alex. It's actually what I try to do with my world building.

I don't know that it helps per se with energy, but it keeps the idea of doggedly punching out the words in the forefront, anyway.

My problem is that I couldn't just "switch", even if I wanted to. I'd be broke way too quickly. ;) But, yes, I totally admire everybody who can tough this sort of thing out. I was just totally dead last night - I was asleep about 30 min or so after I posted that, I think. Of course going to bed early means I woke up early too and now it's 4:30 am and I've been up for a while. It's raining outside, but it's not cold, so I can open the balcony door and listen. And I got another 1.5h before I gotta get ready to return to the office so I'll try to do some world building NOW. That's a cool anecdote, actually.
