Why Am I Writing?

I’m writing because I said I would.

Sometimes I don’t feel like it or I run out of time.

Sometimes I’m tired and I don’t get to it when I planned.

I made a commitment to writing for two reasons:

  1. I wanted to increase content
  2. I wanted to exercise my writing voice

But, here’s the thing.

Writing is just writing.

There isn’t a rule about how much writing you need to do to qualify as actual writing.

But, for some reason, there is a slight tinge of guilt.

I don’t know what it is.

Maybe it is that I actually don’t want to stop writing. Or it might be I fear if my writing is too short, it may not be pithy enough.

If it’s short, I might not get the impact of Seth Godin or someone else who writes short blogs.

Should I even care about that?

If I care about that, then I’m writing for approval. Right?

Right?

Are you hearing me?

Does this even make sense?

Hmmm. Maybe this is a clue to stop for now.

So, I’ll listen.
