When I step away from writing for a while due to illness or work or whatever, I force myself to write something. Anything. I try my best to not get too down on myself about what or how I write that something. I write to Prime the Pump. Sure enough, once primed, I start to get eager to write, I start to narrate posts in my head on my way home. The tap begins to drip.
Since 2020, I have written the following: -grandiose grocery lists (written on an empty stomach) that often end up getlting left behind at home -funding proposals -delicately worded emails -harried Whatsapp messages -a slew of facebook messages (that basically kept me alive) -a tinder profile or two... -utilitarian text messages -heart felt text messages -the very occasional love note (on paper) to a friend or a loved one The things I have not written since 2020: -a journal -a multi-page handwritten letter -a play -a sketch -a novel -more than 2-3 blog posts that I didn't even publish -a pros and cons list
