Create blog with intention of writing regularly: ✓
Write regularly: Well, that took some time. I created a different blog on November 25, 2017…and proceeded to let it sit for almost two months. And for a variety of reasons. Fear that people won’t like or want to read my writing. Worry that I won’t write consistently and that this will become dormant. Apprehension that all my “stuff” will be out there on the world wide web.
It took some time, but here I am. I went to a writing-related event today and the two women who spoke had the same message: just write. It doesn’t matter how eloquent it sounds or how others might receive it. By writing, not only are we able to process our own thoughts and feelings, we might also help others who may be struggling or suffering with similar (or different!) concerns.
Slightly related to writing – it’s amazing to go on a journey just through listening to songs. Dodie’s Secret For the Mad came on my Spotify and the gentle melody and clarity of the lyrics made me stop writing and just listen. And then made me think of all of the people I know who are working through their own internal conflicts and challenges.
