On notions and reality

When I started this blog I thought I would post something every day. 

I thought I’d post my wisdom and share things I learned. 

The reality is that I haven’t posted in a week, despite the fact that I have several posts at the ready. 

Thing is, the expectations I had are such a pressure, so much so that I don’t post. Forcing myself to write is the thing that kills words. 

I need to let go of two ideas. 

idea one is that I need to say something worthy. The ideal is to get an idea of something to write about, type like mad and then hit post. 

Tinkering endlessly (like I did with one of the posts waiting to be shared) kills the words i wrote in a flurry. 

 

idea two is that I have to stick to a schedule. 

Will this mean that I post more frequently? Who knows? 

it will mean that what I post will be filled with frantic energy, joy in typing words. 

And that’s something I look forward to so much.
