I realized something the other day:

If I’m in front of my computer, I’m never not writing. And it gets really bad in the summer. When I’m on my ADD meds. If I have my computer in front of me–the only thing that can capture my thoughts almost as fast as I think them–then I will be writing something.

Something sort of similar happens when I’m alone with my camera/phone, but I tend to get more easily distracted and not talk about the things I actually want to talk about because I start rambling. I do that here too, but I like being able to edit myself so much more quickly with writing. With video, sure I can edit it later, but that’s long after all the material is “written”. I can go back and film, but it’s not the same. Maybe I’m no good at it, which is true, or haven’t had enough experience with it, also true, but I can’t as easily or as happily go back and film the thoughts I remember I wanted to add.

Why is this important? Why am I writing about this? I forgot. I’ve got 9 other documents open that I’m writing different things on. Maybe I’ll come back and talk about this again when I can think of why this was suddenly so important for me to write about.
