Is it insanity to write when you don’t feel inspired at all? Or is it me that is thinking that way? It’s only been a few days since I started writing again. Only a few days and I’m stumped. Some people write daily without too much issue. I struggle to come up with a topic.
I’m going to be honest here. If I wrote something that didn’t interest me, I know for a fact that I would struggle. For one, I would have to research it to understand it. Also, I would have to read the topic several times so I can have a clear understanding of it. Even after doing that, there is no guarantee that I would get something finished. There is one thing that I would guarantee though. I will procrastinate big time. Most of the time will be wasted exploring facebook or watching videos on YouTube.
Yet here I am writing something down. The question is why? Why am I bothering writing down my thoughts? I could list so many reasons why, but I’m going to reduce this as best as I can so I don’t waste your time.
Work in progress
For one, It shows me what’s going to work and what doesn’t work. Take for example the story that I created. I had no idea at the time if it was going to work or not. After posting it and waiting for several hours, I confirmed that the story won’t work here. People would argue and say that I wasted my time on it. I see it as a way to improve my writing.
Improvement in writing
Another reason is that it helps me improve my writing. I’m doing my best to write every day. The more that I write, the more that I improve. With each article that I write, I know it helps me become a better writer. Would I like to make this a full-time job at some point? You bet I would. The only way for that to happen is to keep practicing on my writing though.
Keeping the mind calm through insanity
While this may not relate to writing in any way, it helps keep my sanity in check. How many of you have bad days? Rather than snapping at someone in the process, I’ll go to a quiet area and write down how I am feeling. I know by writing down my thoughts, I can write without judgment since I know no one will be reading it.
I won’t bother to list other reasons since I would be here for hours. Plus I know that not everyone has that kind of time to spare.
