I finally solved it!
After trying and failing to build a writing habit.
I asked myself one simple question and you can do it too.
“What is the smallest amount of time I can dedicate to writing no matter how bad the day is or how much motivation I lack.”
For me it was ten minutes.
Since I write poetry and short fiction I use
Five minutes – Poetry
Five minutes – Short Fiction
I write in the morning it makes me feel better through the day. And if I ever miss I can make up in the evening.
Quote
“At one time I thought the most important thing was talent. I think now that — the young man or the young woman must possess or teach himself, train himself, in infinite patience, which is to try and to try and to try until it comes right. He must train himself in ruthless intolerance. That is, to throw away anything that is false no matter how much he might love that page or that paragraph. The most important thing is insight, that is … curiosity to wonder, to mull, and to muse why it is that man does what he does. And if you have that, then I don’t think the talent makes much difference, whether you’ve got that or not.”
[Press conference, University of Virginia, May 20, 1957]”
― William Faulkner
Progress Update
I am looking to get back into reading.
Do you have any recommendations?
I like interesting mainstream literature.
