I was so excited about the positive feedback on my first few posts, I sort of forgot to get going on the next post. And then I became unsure of what I wanted to write about. And then I got so nervous that I felt like I couldn’t write anything at all. Oh, the madness!
For now, I wanted to share this lovely tidbit with you. I have been reading Ray Bradbury’s Zen in the Art of Writing. It is wonderful, inspiring and motivating. I’d recommend it for anyone, including non-writers. This is one of my favorite quotes from it:
“Self-consciousness is the enemy of all art, be it acting, writing, painting, or living itself, which is the greatest art of all.”
So, there you have it. Don't think about it, just go ahead and do it! Hopefully this might inspire a few of you out there, suffering from some sort of temporary or long-term block, be it writer’s or whatever. I’m busy working on my temporary writer’s block, and I’ll get back to you soon, I hope!! J
Blogging sure takes a lot of time. You could say that you will do a post each week and write a little on it throughout the week. Then again, all the posts don't have to be profound or anything. I like writing Facebook notes for my longer thoughts (mostly on religion and philosophy) but thought about starting my own blog. I didn't know Ray Bradbury had an instructional writing book. He of the Fahrenheit 451 correct?
