Don't Think... Just Write

www.theblankpage.io

My first post back.

I don’t have anything important to say. I can’t think of any good ideas to write about.

The only thing that continues to come to mind is that when I sit down each morning to write, my thoughts become more clear and my work is more direct.

I don’t know why I keep going through this cycle.

I think it’s because I put expectations on it. I see what the end result of writing every day will be as opposed to writing every day for its own reward.

It’s like skateboarding.

I never skated because I wanted to get something out of it. The thing I got out of skating was the act of skating itself. I did it because I loved it.

When I approach my daily blog with that sort of mentality, all things in my life seem to operate more efficiently.
