RE: Writing habits and consistency

in #blog6 years ago

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who feels the need to have food nearby. It is a definite time waster if I need to leave my office in search of something to eat. Yet, more times than not, that's what I'm doing. Back and forth I go. So, I need to stop that.

The other thing I apparently need to do is come up with another list of topics. I've done it, and I still have a partially unfinished list, but I'm not so keen on the topics right now, so need to update those.

The distractions are generally at a minimum here, but they can be an issue, too. I just haven't been able to get into the routine I feel I need to get into when it comes to posting. Need to change that.

I guess I needed your post, so thank you for doing it. :)

I would have never guessed that you have difficulties because you seem to have a list of topics and very standard topics on specific days.

Yes the food is something that I always had as a habit from my college newspaper days. It was fun remembering those and messaging one of my editors lol

Well, generally I have ideas popping into my head on a regular basis. It's a very involuntary process. But when they're not doing that, then it's like I can't force it, or even try to brainstorm, because nothing comes. It hasn't always been like that, but lately it's become harder and harder to come up with something of interest.

Then there are some topics that I want to touch upon, but I can't get it to come out right. That's probably the most frustrating—when it makes sense in your head but it doesn't come out that way in print.

In addition to that, I've got a couple I want to do, but I know that there will be people within our circles who won't like what I have to say. When I know that's the case, I tend to worry too much about the words I use and the post tends to lose any impact or effectiveness.

So, there you go. I'm not so fond of lists, at least not for topics. They become restrictive, like I'm forced to do them, and that ends up feeling like work. :)
