How do you deal with writer’s block?

Having said that, however, I will say that writing every day is an excellent component to the work of getting beyond it. Even if one only anticipates garbage to come out, that is fine. Just keep writing garbage.

At some point you may stop writing garbage. You may not, too. But that is not the point.

The point is to discover and re-discover play.

Certainly there is importance to developing our systems of work. However, one can easily get lost in crafting conditions to be "just right". They never are. The vision of perfection is a poorly drawn, fragile map that cannot represent reality.

We can guide play into mastery and meaningful work, but first there must be play to guide. Writing daily is a practice of play regardless of conditions. (less)

Words are a set of tools with which I can play with thought.

Playing with words helps me to develop how I think, which then let's me play with words some more.

That I get to share these thoughts with others is a neat bonus. (less)

It’s Too Hard to Even Make It There

Alright, Let’s see what I’ve got on my list here. Visit the gym. Are you kidding me?”

Sometimes the simplest things can feel like the heaviest weights. The simpler they are, the more we paradoxically “can’t be bothered.”

Head to the garage, show up to the dishes, open the report – without even needing to do anything. All come with a wave of revulsion.

In such states, how can we ever move forward
