Don’t pick up a new (or even old) mas­sively mul­ti­player online game over the week­end when you’re plan­ning on get­ting writ­ing done.  Or read­ing. Or work.  Or any laun­dry.  Or, okay, bathing.

This obses­sion should burn out in  a week or so, leav­ing only self-​​loathing and despair.  But it’s fun to fly around the galaxy pre­tend­ing to be a hard­ened explorer, seek­ing out unsta­ble worm­holes and lost alien techol­ogy, for the time being.

Is it a com­mon thing for writ­ers to get sucked into MMOs?  I sure see a lot of peo­ple on Twitter talk­ing about World of Warcraft.  How about you?

And yes, for those keep­ing track, this is my 3rd return to EVE Online.
