Impulse

I’ve been prac­tic­ing Hemingway’s writ­ing tech­nique for about a month now. It’s great! I’ve never been more eas­ily moti­vated to write. Starting a writ­ing ses­sion — or any other project for that mat­ter — is a cinch since I stopped when I was on a roll. All I have to do is pick up where I left off and enjoy the ride. I hon­estly don’t know where this technique’s been all my life.
Trouble is … it doesn’t help fin­ish any­thing. I’ve got a pile of half-written blog entries and sto­ries. It seems, there­fore, that one needs a sec­ond dis­ci­pline in order to com­plete any­thing. Deadlines work for me. Bernie says transparency’s good to. A blog is a lit­tle bit of both — telling the world what you’re doing on a reg­u­lar basis.
So with that, I’m going back to post­ing daily. Please do harass me if I slack.
