loading . . . Writing to write So itās been awhile, eh? I feel a bit of nostalgia at that familiar feeling of staring at a blank page/screen.
Iām kind of not happy about my writing skills atrophying after finishing school. My main writing consists of commenting in quests (d20 Pony, Esquestria), which I wouldnāt necessarily consider a path to rhetorical greatness. And that feeling of _knowing_ thereās a word you want but not being able to recall it? Ugh.
So here I am. Priming the pump. Oiling the press. Clearing my metaphorical throat. Writing to write, to get back in practice. Part of this process is that I have to accept that it wonāt be the most stimulating thing to read. I mean, great works of writing are a combination of whatās being said, and how itās said. I think my workmanship is acceptable, but my message is āI really need to get writing againā, which can only be so compelling. Actually, let me tryā¦
This is the way for the long dead to speak, for the yet unborn to hear, for the living to touch immortality. Words part from space and time. There are many like it, but these are mine.
Arenāt I pithy? š
There is a āwrite 100 posts in a yearā challenge (100 Days To Offload), but Iām not yet certain if Iāll be able to build enough of a writing habit to not fail miserably after my post declaring that Iāve started the challenge. Iāll take things one step at a time for now. https://steadygaze.me/posts/writing-to-write/
