It’s true. Because of some disappointing really shitty experiences in my childhood, I have a built-in fear of being successful through writing.
Yet the only way I’ll be successful is by writing. It sucks, and I want to face this and get rid of it once and for all. I want to be able to write a blog post in one hour, not 3 days (can you believe that shit?).
Here’s what normally happens: I sit down to write and then freeze up at every word. It’s a terrible habit. I change each sentence literally 10+ times before moving on to the next.
I know this is a problem. There are people far less writing-oriented than me who are wildly successful because they stuck to it and they DID it.
So I’m going to make a vow to write in this little sand box each and every day until I get shake the disease. And it is a disease.
