I have an urge to write and publish to my blog because I
want to have a blog and have yet to publish a post (As of writing this post, I had not, but as of
publishing this post, I have.). However, I’m struggling
because I have several documents created with topics and notes on what to write
about the various topics. I’ve even wrote a lot for at least one, but I didn’t
get to finish the draft in one sitting. Therefore, I feel overwhelmed at the
idea of completing that post because I feel as if I’ll have to read the entire
document to figure out where I left off and what notes I covered already and
which I didn’t. Also, if reading that much overwhelms me, then, is it too long
of a post? I heard from another blogger that posts shouldn’t be more than 300 words.
Mine was 700+ unfinished. I know I would have had to go back and proofread and
probably delete some text, but then, how authentic and genuine and raw and
honest is the post if I have to go back and edit? And why am I writing this
post? Why? I still need some sort of appropriate introductory post on my blog
first, right? Maybe I’ll just finish this post, save it for later, finish my
introductory post, and then post this one as “the struggles of writing” or
something along the lines of that? What I probably need to go is listen to the
advice of my therapist and listen to my
gut. What is my gut telling me?
My gut is telling me this: Maybe I’ll
just finish this post, save it for later, finish my introductory post, and then
post this one as “the struggles of writing” or something along the lines of
that, which is probably why I typed that. See how sneaky your gut can be?
It’ll toss itself in the middle of your anxious thoughts, and you might think,
“OH MY GOSH, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT OUT OF ALL OF THAT IS GUT, AND
WHICH IS ANXIETY? AND HOW WAS I EVEN SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT MY GUT PUT ITSELF IN
THERE???” At least that’s what I think, and that’s all I know of—my personal
experiences with my thoughts and anxiety and gut.
Hey, how did this turn from the struggles of writing into a
post about my anxiety?
I’ll leave you with what I think is the advice I need when I
have trouble writing.
“If you can't write,
read.
If you can't read, walk.
Or walk and read, then write.”
"I get my best writing done when I'm supposed to be doing something else entirely. And that's why I keep my day job."
