I just got home for Christmas Break and im enjoying being 1200 miles away from college. Dont get me wrong, i love the school (Florida Tech) but i hate being so far away from home (Connecticut)

I have a few maps in progress. One for counter-strike, a mod im working on for regular half-life, and i'm making a fully functional version of my house for hl2.

I'm switching on and off between maps, it seems to be working but i keep losing inspiration, and sometimes i want to map but i dont want to make any improvements or additions to the ones i already started so i make a new one. And then it keeps growing.

I have so many maps just sitting around that do one thing: Rot.

I recently read the journals from the website made from the dude who made de_dust and de_dust2, and it gave me some inspiration to make a good cs map. I have a layout drawn up and i made the basic part of the C-T spawn on the planeride from atlanta, but i keep thinking to myself: "Why even put forth the effort to polish up and submit a map if nobody is going to play it?"

So I keep second-guessing myself and stuff. People here download and play maps, and they comment and i improve them and re-submit, sometimes open up a thread and discuss...

But nobody has a server that they put the maps on and they rarely (if ever) get play time on the net.

sigh

Maybe i should just make a kickass HLDM map and give it to muzz...
