I haven't been spending much time at the computer, either online or writing, and I realized it's because I unconsciously classify that time at "recreational". See, while I'm not working, I have this notion that all my time should be "productive", so either job search or household projects, or the Etsy store. Problem is, though, is that I miss everyone and that I'm not getting any writing done. So I feel guilty for writing, and I feel guilty for not writing - clearly that's not going to work.

I'll feel better once I have money coming in, obviously. In the mean time, though - yeah, not sure what I'm going to do.

I think that's 100% normal. I know I suffer from the same thing. Writing fanfic is recreational and therefore almost wrong, because I should be doing something useful...

In the end I tell myself it is useful for my mental health and schedule some time in, even if it's only fifteen minutes a day, to settle down and do a bit of writing.
