You Want Me to Write Everyday?
No…no, I don’t, but if you want to go ahead. All the benefits that you hear online about writing are well true, they will help you improve. But the storms of life stop for no man, trust me. I asked and they just laughed at me. I keep remembering when I was a kid recklessly pursuing a very, very poorly written story every single day. I wish I could go back and relish in those times but unfortunately we can’t. (I encourage you to go back and look at your first stories, it’s hard but it can be quite fun to see into the mind of the person you used to be.)
So we don’t have time to write every day, because of school, work, family, etc., whatever it may be so what do we do?
A question I’ve thought about a lot recently as my life has gotten busier. So since I can’t write everyday and I’m also too tired to write everyday, I’ve started to think of writing as more than just sitting at my computer. Fiction writing is about truth a lot of the time, the truth of the world, the truth of a situation. Truth is a constant anchor in fiction. And in art and writing is an art. So why don’t we just consume the truth? Things we believe in, things that catch our interest.
This idea of consuming art daily instead of feeling bad that I didn’t have time or energy to write daily, sparked when I was reading On Stories by CS Lewis and I had whiplash by the sheer amount…
