Slowly resuming progress. Every day I try to get a little bit done. Nothing tangible yet in terms of forward movement, but I have been working consistently on the game every day for the past week, refactoring and rewriting old code. I feel like I’m about to crest the cusp of a new inspiration. I’ve been feeling very lonely, which has helped to intensify my concentration. I owe much of the calm to my new job schedule: every morning I wake up, drive to work, sit at my desk, and drive back at night, with little to differentiate or interrupt the rhythm of things. It helps to inculcate a peaceful predictability in which my emotions become dulled to the point where I am able to work without significant external disruption. During the day, the constant presence and activity of others keep me occupied and prevent me from thinking about the past. I try my best not to think too much or hope for too much for the future, too. I am learning to manage my expectations about life carefully.
