Can Scrum really be used to write novels?
I began this blog as a way to express myself and unashamedly build a platform for my future writing. I understand that even if I write the best books ever made, if no one buys them, then it'll be like I wrote nothing at all. So I thought I had found a good outlet to discuss the ongoing project of writing a book, as well as the process itself. One of the thoughts I had while writing was about how each of us contend with different forces inside our own heads as we write. I considered how there were some days when I would be thinking all about my world or about how I can improve a scene or a character in some way, and then when I sat down to write it, I couldn't find the motivation. So even though I wanted to write, I couldn't because of a little voice in my head telling me not to do it.

A Balancing Act
Happiness is the one everyone likes to refer to when talking about the importance of balance, right? I mean, that goes for everything in our own little worlds. "You need to find a work/life balance." "You need to stop working so hard and do things you enjoy." "You need to get off your lazy butt and go find a job." If it was as easy as balancing work and life, then I think we'd have a lot less depression in our society. But no, it goes way, way deeper than that.
