Good morning friends and welcome to a slightly belated Monday Motivations.
I woke up yesterday in a bit of a slump, though I hesitate to even call it that. It was more of a… mundane feeling. I didn’t have anything interesting to say, I thought, and though I spent some time staring at this blog page, wondering what updates I could share with you all, truth was: I just wasn’t motivated yesterday.
I still got plenty of stuff done, don’t get me wrong. But it all felt very rote, routine, not worth mentioning. Hence the lack of update.
Today, on the other hand, could not be more different. I sat down at my desk and at once felt very strongly that I needed to declutter. Not my desk, though it is a pretty busy place, but my life. I just feel inexplicably but determinedly ready to shed whatever I’ve been holding onto that is actually holding me back. Anxiety, old ideas, self doubt, the urge to procrastinate.
(I’m actually kind of mad I’m at work today and don’t really have anything I can purge here. Guarantee if I was at home I’d be a flurry of activity. But I’m not so here I am writing this blog post instead.)
How can I translate this to writing? Well, the easiest answer would be: time to start editing! Alas I have nothing to edit. Instead, I am choosing to let go of my pre-conceived notions about this idea I am working on. I am releasing those concerns I have long harbored about the story. And I am freeing myself of the doubt that I am capable of being a real, Grown Up writer.
Today (and going forward, I hope) I am going to write without fear.
That’s my motivation.
