On notions and reality
When I started this blog I thought I would post something every day.
I thought Iād post my wisdom and share things I learned.
The reality is that I havenāt 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 donāt 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 thatās something I look forward to so much.
