Hmmm what to do

In my vein attempt to be very productive in the completion of projects that are victims of my creativity, or lack there of, I find my self wanting to work on them all yet finishing none. While I have completed more video projects in the last month than the previous 6 months before that, I find still in a state of wandering. So in an attempt to keep writing and also follow my timely friend's advice of write something everyday, I am going to start posting pages from one of the many stories I am working on here. But in this decision I am also torn. Which story to post. My "Fae'th In Time" story has been more recently worked on and is also a project that seems to have start flowing smoothly again. I also have a sci fi story of a completely different nature that is actually rather fitting parallel to the current state of the world. Well sort of. The name of that project is called "Sides". So for any who are reading this perhaps they can help in my decision.
Also I have been distracting lately by a quaint little game called SPORE. While the game is not overly complicated in its execution, what does seem to take up most of my game playing time in a very good way is the customization of...well just about anything you can control in the game.
I picked up the game because I had a 5 buck coupon off for best buy that was about to expire.
So after coming home I installed it...7 hours later I found I had to pull my self way to catch some Z's before work. The thing is that a good chunk of the time was played not actually playing the game in which you make friends or conquer other spieces or cities on your planet but in making my creature building and vehicles. It is very impressive the actual amount of freedom you have in the creation process. You can literally make your creations look like just about anything.
Whats even more promising is the replayablity. Not only do you play against creatures and such that were created by the programmers of said game but the majority of what you play against is actually player created.
SPORE has this impressive system to where what you create in the game can be shared online and downloaded by anyone else who has the game. At current there are over 48 million different creations out there. So the likely hood of encountering something new everytime you play is imense.
I could just spend hours making stuff and not even playing the game. Anyway it was worth the money though it is yet one more distraction . I have too many interests.

Too many interests. Hmm, I can't relate to that at all. :)
