So after finishing my last post on the waterfalls, which I believe to be my best and most inspired writing to date, I began to fully embrace the fact that I like writing and I'm pretty good at it. So why don't I do more of it? Because every time I sit down to write it feels like a MASSIVE undertaking. It's gotten a bit better lately but man seriously the first few posts I cranked out took hours and hours and hours of staring blankly at the screen, getting a few thoughts down, staring blankly at the screen again, and then ultimately having to stop and return to it later. Over and over. So heres what I'm going to do - commit to writing at the very least 5x / week for the rest of the year. I figure the only way to get over this stupid mental block is to push through - writing almost every day. With roughly 10 weeks left in the year, were talking 50 posts. For a bit of perspective I've written 10 in the past 5 months. Eeeeshhhh, thats just not cutting it. I want to solidify this skill set so it's time to step things up!
I'm giving myself the freedom to write about whatever is on my mind, no matter how boring or mundane it may seem. No pressure, no stopping and starting, just gonna let it rip. I'm excited ;)
