---December 2 – Writing. What do you do each day that doesn’t contribute to your writing — and can you eliminate it? (Author: Leo Babauta)---
Great question. I'd have to say that my own criticism and sometimes confusion about what I want my writing to accomplish gets in the way of actually writing. I have a general idea of what I think my writing should be, and I get fearful of falling short of that. I have come to love 750words.com - and was dedicated to writing daily in the month of September which was wonderfully inspiring (even though I missed 3 days!). I've used claddyjack on and off for years as a place to form ideas and creative thoughts - it has been an imaginative space without needing to be FOR anything, not even for writing daily, which I've enjoyed as it's been at my whim. Yet I feel the need to write more often for all sorts of great reasons. Writing is an activity that I too often expect too much from, not sure why but the "why" doesn't matter - so I'm just going to write and see what comes of it and not needing to know beforehand what it will accomplish - make sense? By doing this Reverb10 reflection daily and online I am already eliminating what contributes to my non -writing. So yep, I can and am eliminating what doesn't contirbute to my writing. Small steps daily, people.
