What is Possible When We Write? | Ep 43

Buildwriting

In this episode, I remind myself and my fellow writers of a fundamental truth - that we are often our own biggest obstacles when it comes to writing. I explore the fears, doubts, and excuses that can prevent us from putting pen to paper or fingers to keyboard. Despite having the desire and even a plan to write consistently, I find myself getting caught up in the quest for perfection or allowing other lesser priorities to take precedence. However, I realize that the only way to truly discover what's possible through our writing is to actually write. It doesn't have to be perfect or according to some grand vision right away. The key is to simply show up for your craft each day, even if it's just for a few focused minutes. I remind myself that writing is a crucial priority that should not be negotiable. By pushing past our self-imposed limitations and making writing a non-negotiable habit, we can unlock our creative potential and make magic happen, one imperfect step at a time.
