Writing

I write everything down—ideas, phrases, random thoughts—because I never know when I may need it. Eminem calls this practice, "Stacking ammo".

Here's a drawing of a kiwi.

For anything you do, there will always be a “day one.” Your first sketch. Your first post. Your first workout. The trick isn’t to nail it. The trick is to get better at starting—whatever it is. To just do it.

It doesn't matter if it's good right now. It just needs to exist.

Feeling overwhelmed? Write it down. Feeling lost? Write it down. Feeling inspired? Write. It. Down.

Use a pen, not a pencil. Make a mistake? Scratch it out. Live with it. Move on.

Yesterday, after publishing a new blog post—the first one in about two years—I had a realization. I’ve become really good at writing. But I’ve stayed really bad at sharing.

Goodness. Gracious. Why is writing so hard! Since re-launching my site, I've set a personal goal to write at least once a week. I gave myself a soft-pass this week, as I sorta missed my goal by a bit. But I was busy!
