Just keep writing, that's the solution to all the writing woes they say. I've said it on several occasions too, there's no such thing as a writer's block, only writer's lack-of-motivation. And apparently writing nonstop for like five ten even fifteen minutes if you can pull that off is the solution. Don't worry about what you're writing, how correct it is grammatically, or if people will judge you for it, will this be the end of your goddamn career, this shitpiece you wrote because you had nothing better to do because your motivation was in the dumps because of you know all the global pandemic and everything? But you have to write and write and write for as long as you can, until your hands give up or the clock strikes or the alarm hits or something I dunno, surely you had the good sense to make yourself track the next several minutes so you'd know when the torture would end or not. Or perhaps like myself right now you were being sneaky and not letting yourself look at the clock so you'd look at it later and have to write for much longer than you were expected too.
It's hard okay, that's not as easy as they want you to believe, because of course when you're writing in your blog you care about the spelling, you care about the grammar and ofcourse and does this even warrant saying uggh of courseee it matters how your piece reflects on you. it's not like you're a social outcast that can live on the fringes of society without caring for what everyone else thinks of you. No matter how hard people pretend to not care for it, they do care for others' validation, if nothing else they care about validation from folks who appreciate other people saying they don't care for anyone's validation. So there's that, you're a respectful member of the society and you can't just like vomit out a thousand words or however many words you can type in the given frame and call it a day. No you have to make coherent sentences and phrases and have the general piece make some sense. Even if you've just claimed that you're going to go all experimental from now on because you've not written anything in a while and you need to start writing, whatever it may be, and thus. So anyway, that doesn't work so something better's gotta come up.
Speaking of which, all my friends who left the U.S to European countries cos' they thought they've had enough of this and all have returned back because they've had it worse there. That is apropo of nothing really, just remembered, I wonder why. Weird how the human mind works right?
