Once in a while we feel so inspired that we would want to share those inspirations with the world through our blogs. And it is even better when we find a good content to write about.
“You can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will.”
This is a quote from Stephen King from his book On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft. Back in 2011, Nissa brought home a copy of this book for me to read which she borrowed from the bank’s Stress Management office. I loved it so much that I dreamed of finding my copy every time I visit a book store. I was lucky enough to find one at Booksale, still with the dust jacket on and looked so new. What a nice surprise. I even blogged about it twice. I thought at first it was his autobiography but I was mistaken, it was about how to begin writing and going on.
“Words create sentences; sentences create paragraphs; sometimes paragraphs quicken and begin to breathe.”
I know, it is most of the time hard to start but once you have written that first sentence, everything follows. I mentioned in my previous post that I would like to write everyday again but I don’t know if I will be able to. Sometimes, laziness sets in, sometimes you can’t think of a nice content to share and to write about. You might think it is kind of stressful to write every day. You’d think you are forcing yourself to write, deep inside though, you have that desire to be heard.
“Your job isn’t to find these ideas but to recognize them when they show up.”
Do you agree? I do.
“The scariest moment is always just before you start. After that, things can only get better.”
Sometimes the blank pages seem so hard to fill up but there are those inspired moments that you simply have to touch your keyboard or glide your pen across the blank pages and the words flow smoothly along.
From past experience, I noticed that when I don’t blog for about a week, it is so hard to start again. It seems I am lost in space and the words would not come.
I know it would be an ambitious undertaking, writing every day I mean but I’m gonna try.
