Hump Day – Writing
The theme for this week (why I love blogging) has me thinking about writing in different ways. Writing – even if just for the sake of writing – is always something I’ve believed important. Like breathing.
I read somewhere, and I apologize if this offends readers, that a writer needs to write everyday, just like a person needs to…um…poo everyday, or you tend to ‘back up.’ I’ve never heard a better analogy for how important it is to write every day, no matter what. Having a deadline helps. (For blogging, having regular comments helps too.)
So part of the reason I enjoy blogging may have to do with the people, and learning new things like html, but a huge advantage to having a blogging gig at 451Press is a deadline that I have to meet at least five days a week. It keeps me “regular.” And it helps me warm up for writing in general, which is a big part of what I do beyond blogs.
Do you write under deadline (self imposed or otherwise)? Even if you don’t use a deadline, do you find writing everyday helps keep things “moving” – creatively speaking, of course?
(Tomorrow – “topics,” maybe.)
hump day, writing, write anyway, deadlines, blogging
