You're an Oblivion fan too. How cool!
I used to love spending days foraging for my magical brews, battling a few wolves and making my own clothes, while also sneaking around and stealing a few bits and pieces from the evil folk. All of these were absolutely necessary as I was on a mission to save the world from the dastardly Mythic Dawn. Haha!
But seriously, it was all about escapism, and I get it. It was needed. At least it was then. Now, I can take that talent to escape but instead of playing inside someone else's story, I can create my own. The stories I make up on the outside as well as the inside.
As I decluttered my external space, I also decluttered the internal.
It's amazing how much easier it now feels to write. 💛
