Diary of An Online Writer: Sometimes There Are No Words.
You just have to go with the flow.
Today is one of those days.
I feel like I’m behind all my goals I set for myself this week.
One of the goals is to post at-least 5 Medium articles weekly. Just to get back into the flow of writing and posting daily after taking a long break away from the platform.
However, my plans have fallen through this week!
Today is Wednesday, and I’m just writing and posting my first article for the week after browsing through countless ideas in my drafts.
I’ll be honest — I’m totally uninspired and forcing myself to show up! I’m just out of it and over it!
Maybe, it’s just one of those days. I’m sure we all have them, where no matter how hard we try, it feels like we have no words and are just forcing it!
Yesterday, I didn’t post a story on Medium because I spent all afternoon recording a sit down video for my youtube channel.
Guess what?!
After recording 3 different iterations of the video, I discovered the videos recorded without sound. I discovered this when I was about to edit them.
I was crushed! Because I actually enjoyed the process of making the videos and it took me all afternoon to make them.
Naturally, I went to bed last night disappointed and hopeful that I’d be able to record them the following day. However, I woke up with a splitting headache which put me in a foul mood.
So I guess my recording is not happening today either because I can’t show up on camera grumpy and agitated! Urgh!
So I’ve decided to just surrender and go with the flow!
I’m cutting myself some slack because —
Sometimes things don’t go as planned.
Sometimes you just have to do what you can and call it a day.
Sometimes you just have to close your laptop and try again the next day.
Because tomorrow might be a better day!
My goal this year is to take my youtube channel seriously. So please watch my videos, like and subscribe: I’m still exploring and experimenting with my style and what I want to share with the world.
