I’m not literally slipping on anything, but slipping is a good analogy.
The bottom line is that I made a commitment to write, and I’ve got to spotlight the fact that I’m not quite living into it.
Fear of not having anything brilliant to say is one obstacle. Well, I absolve myself of the curse of always having to be brilliant. I’ll strive for just intelligent. I can do that.
Another is the desire to have something funny to say. I absolve myself of the burden of always having to be uproariously hilarious. I’ll strive for appropriately witty. I can do that.
And then there’s the need to say something relevant, the need to uncover meaning in life and share it with others. That’s the really big one. That’s the one that keeps me from writing most often. So, I’ll strive to just be honest and creative and authentic and observant. I can do that. The rest? Well, maybe the rest falls into place. Maybe not. Either way, the commitment is to write. I need to keep that in perspective!
