I can’t be a full time raider, perform my day job competently, be a professional blogger, play the wide variety of MMOs I need to play to do my job, participate in the two betas I am in (don’t ask), and also sleep. The past couple of weeks, sleep-debt has been killing me. Simple fact is, I need to be in bed 11PM each night. Staying up until 1, 2 or 3AM writing after raids is killing me.
The other writers warned me I wouldn’t be able to keep up a six night a week raiding schedule. I thought I could, but… well, I need to be awake when I write. I make stupid errors otherwise. So I’ll be talking to my guild leaders about cutting back my raiding obligation to two nights a week, or maybe it’s time to just go completely casual. I’ll never see my mythical epic, but the ordinary one is pretty sweet by itself… and there’s always pickup raiding.
Anyway, off to the dentist (yay).

*hugs Tipa* It sounds like you have way too much on your plate, so I think you have made the write decision to cut back on raiding, 6 nights of raiding a week is a big demand.
And, I’ve caught up on my writing, am playing the betas I am supposed to review, it’s great!!!
It definitely sounds like you are trying to take on too much all at once – even though it’s what you love.
I will say that it’s only your presence on Massively that keeps me there – getting very tired of the “WoW is the greatest game, now let’s discuss X” attitude of a lot of the articles.
I do tend to focus on games that aren’t WoW because, I agree, that game is hardly starved for coverage. But people write about the games they enjoy, and for most people, that’s WoW. Those of us who are not current WoW players get a little drowned out, but I expect it to lose some of its glamor with the new games coming out.
