On Writing

I’ve long preferred live conversations over writing. Writing something down, committing to that exact thing, sending it out into the universe, and hoping its received as intended is scary. Much better a higher bandwidth discussion where you can get feedback, adapt to what’s needed, and know how its landing. Certainly the also ties back to giving too much headspace to what others think of me.

But ultimately you only get better at things by doing them more. And fears only become less scary by confronting them.

So drawing inspiration from Julie, who has been blogging every day for the six years, I’m setting off on my own journey to write something here every single day. Long, short, thoughtful, inane, whatever, it doesn’t really matter, it’s just doing the thing that matters.

Or put another way, it’s about practice.
