One Apple A Day #885 - rain check
For the last two months, I used a set of cards as prompts for my morning writings. Today, I'm back to the blank page.
Right now, this bright white screen staring at me feels quite intimidating.
Everything is possible. I can pick any subject, write about anything I want. Yet, that forces me to choose. What wants to emerge? What do I need to write and share?
It is funny how the human mind works. When we have constraints, we yearn for the freedom to do whatever we want. Then, when we get that freedom, we often don't know what to do with it.
A few times lately, using the strength cards for my writing, I felt limited. There were things I wanted to write about, ideas I wanted to explore, but I didn't because I made a commitment with myself to go through all those cards. This morning, I can write about everything I want, and suddenly my mind goes blank.
Anyway, I made it through. My fifteen minutes are gone, the page is not blank anymore and, even if it's not the most inspiring thing I wrote in these four years, I'll publish it.
Because that is what this is all about. To show up, even when the muse takes a rain check on our writing practice.
