I fear writing; a result of my perfectionism. The prospect of defective prose frightens me, so I don't try. A thought I put to paper last month:
"I am imprisoned within my lack of clarity and lack of style. Fucking failure. Chained to a quiet and passive existence.
I want to express; I want to free my ideas; I want to communicate my message; but I fucking can’t. I can’t clear this painful fog."
- GeneralMaximus 18y agoI just decided to write a lot. Even if it doesn't make sense (http://blog.uncool.in/2009/03/26/episode-1-perspective-shift/ http://blog.uncool.in/2009/03/26/episode-1-perspective-shift...). I suppose after a month or so of writing crap, I'll be able to loosen up my rusty writing skills a bit and my writing will become more natural. You might want to try that.
- michael_dorfman 18y agoI agree. Commit to writing 3 pages a day, even if it is just repetitive nonsense and ramblings. Feel free to burn the notebook at the end of the month. After a few months of this, you just may find you have loosened things up a bit in terms of the old "the best is the enemy of the good" problem.
- ekpyrotic 18y agoI have undertaken that same task; working at it for about a month. It gets easier. (http://dailymis.com/?p=55 http://dailymis.com/?p=55)
