Draft?…………there is no draft in real life….

This is real. I have less than 10 minutes to write, and post this blog.

 

My previous idea of writing was not real. The idea that I could write, put it under “draft”, look at it again, and again and tweak, and review, and sleep over it and hesitate…………..and build up resistance, and repeat the cycle of resistance………….and telling myself the story that it’s still not perfect.

 

Right now, I don’t have this “luxury”. The luxury of finding faults with my own writing.

 

I am now “acting as if” what I write is good enough. It is the real conversation with friends that  I am having and that’s what it is. I am writing exactly as I speak with a friend.

 

Say something heartfelt, helpful and generous in 5 minutes. Well, my typing is half as fast as my speech. So 10 minutes.

 

Here it is!
