What to blog about today?
Well, I could do another poem, although I do not feel that at the moment, so what else to write about? I’ve got to think! Think! Think! I’m stuck. I can’t write.
Well, we always think that we struggle to write something, yet we never struggle with something to say, therefore, we can just speak and write that down. There is no such thing as writer’s block unless we want to believe there is.
Write in plain speaking, and do not overcomplicate, that is why we get writer’s block because we are focussed on an outcome and not focussed on just putting the first word down and then the next and next and so on. It may not be brilliant and win The Booker Prize, but who cares? The more we just write the better we will become, but there is always something to say, as we speak often without thinking, so we just speak. Well, we can just write and write and write, we can always go back and edit it, and we can always get even better next time. However, it is the starting that is the obstacle that thought creates.
The blockage to everything is because we enter the psychological time-bound dimension of the future and we think about the outcome, which is always in the future and not now, so we can not deal with it, we just think about it and create a psychological fear about the outcome…always negative thought and self-criticism. Instead, we can just start writing on the paper, and if you prefer, we can just type on a keyboard.
Writing on paper is better as it is physically creating something and involves a human touch which is nourishing for the soul and that actually helps us write better. We are more mindful and conscious when we are not in the digital dimension.
OK…let’s edit, and publish!
