I'm a blogger/writer and even though I consider that to be creative, I do it so often that it doesn't always feel that way. That is the reason that I see great significance in experimenting with my writing. Outside of my 2 blogs I write poetry, occasionally journal and have a notebook dedicated to writing … Continue reading Try something new

A writers confidence
My writing habit was born from journaling which explains why I write with such confidence. I'm used to writing about my thoughts on life and things I've experienced, in fact I'm incredibly comfortable doing it. Granted a blog is more open than a journal but the practice is the same. It's been more than a … Continue reading A writers confidence
Persistence, commitment and return
There are people that are incredibly persistent at what they do and they're terrible at it. I think about that alot when it comes to blogging because it's something I started in 2011 which is quite insane because I've never really gotten much from it. But one of the main reasons I've stuck with it … Continue reading Persistence, commitment and return
3 Months of daily blogging!
Time has flown by and one thing that I can tell you about daily blogging is that it's not as difficult as I thought it would be. The act of coming up with something to write every single day and sharing it is more enjoyable than challenging. I thought I'd get 'writers block' but any … Continue reading 3 Months of daily blogging!
More of the same
A few days ago I had this idea to delve into a topic totally unlike anything I have written about before. I had drafted a post on gender. I thought it would be good to try writing something new but also this particular topic has been on my mind for a while. Then just days … Continue reading More of the same
No prior planning
It's very rare that I write a blog post on the spot with no prior planning and minimal editing, I'm too rigid for that. I like to have that spark of an idea come to me which spurs me on to write and luckily I get it often. I have enough thoughts and ideas to … Continue reading No prior planning
Godin, writers block and the inner monologue
I'm less than a month in and I feel like I'm already of running out of things to write. Maybe I'm trying too hard to be interesting rather than just pouring out thoughts. But I need to remind myself that first and foremost this writing everyday and posting it thing is for me. But at … Continue reading Godin, writers block and the inner monologue
The good kind of comparison
Seeing other people work hard makes me want to work hard. Seeing other people do well makes me want to do well. But its not about competing, it's about reminding myself that I too am capable. And so are you.
Moving backwards
It was towards the end of 2018 that I realised I was starting to miss the way I used to blog in 2012. I missed the freedom that came from putting stuff out for me but also for you if you cared enough to read it. But once I saw what blogging could become and … Continue reading Moving backwards
Step 5
I have a habit of focusing on the bigger picture. I'm trying to see if it's possible to come up with 365 blog posts in around a month. The fear of failing is real. But at the same time it doesn't really mean anything if I miss a day as the only person I'm doing … Continue reading Step 5
