Focus.

Focus is my new thing. In a world that rewards the multi-taskers, at least with praise but not always with riches, I was one of the many. That’s what used to be my thing.

I thought I could write a book…

And write a second book at the same time…

And be a freelance web developer…

And be a photographer…

And be a blogger…

And be everything. And do everything.

But now, I am single minded. I approach each task with as much attention as I can possibly give it. For the past two weeks I’ve been thinking to myself that I have to pick a primary direction for my other eight hours (the ones when I’m not at work). I’ve had a lot to weigh with all of my pursuits and relatively good talents. To make a long story short, I’ve picked writing. My stories, particularly the Renata and Ryan story, lingers in my mind every single day, and I’m always living inside it. It feels only natural that this pursuit, which is my favorite, be the one thing that I take on. The one thing that gets my focus.
