If you are looking to build a habit, then what you write isnt as important as just writing. Some of the hardest part is just sitting down to write and letting the words flow. This advice is just for that part. Once you actually start writing, then you make improvements. But just like you cant edit with whats not there, you cany get better at something you cant do!
When I announced the purpose of the blog, I hoped to have written semi-frequently on the blog, maybe twice a month. But in almost half a year I have written but a single short post. And it is not the deep ramblings I had assumed but just a short voting experience in this election. I still strive to write every day, ever since I read this blog.
I don't know the point of this blogpost itself, is this self-torture? Somehow there have been readers from Hong Kong, I don't know what they find in the 3 posts I have written here. But they have read, and I have not written more. I need to write. This makes no sense from a "flow" POV. Sentences are disjoint I, can't write no good. Even Tao says to write down even new maths. But I can't.
I find solace in the quote at the top, it is the beginning that is most difficult. I sometimes begin to write, only to be bogged down in research. I find those moments very enjoyable if you remove the pressure of writing, but they take enough time that nothing ever gets written (or I learn how I don't know much on the topic, and my inability to honestly write so). But sometime back I forgot the research I did, I want to make those giddy moments permanent in my writing and help others by offering what I discovered in an easy consolidated form. Sadly it never comes through.
I will be looking at Writing Prompts now, let's see if that cures anything. Not hopeful at all though. Not hopeful.
