07: Taking Stock
This post is part of my Dailies collection. You can see more here
So I'm seven days into this blogging challenge that I set myself. This is probably premature, but I'm going to do it anyway.
I've enjoyed this process because it is forcing to break out of my perfectionist mindset. Time is something I don't have much of, so I can't afford to spend too long mucking around with editing. My goal is to just get something on the page.
Initially, I created a list of topics that have been in my head and I intended to write about these as part of this challenge. But what I found is that the topics I put weren't down haven't been very interesting to me when it comes to sitting down and getting words on the page. Instead, I have been trusting my gut. What I do is playback the events of the day in my mind and try to remember anything that may have stood out. The result has been surprising. Something inevitably bubbles to the surface and I can write freely on the topic.
Not sure why this works but I'll ride the wave until it doesn't.
