L is for Learning to Just Write: A to Z Blogging Challenge 2018

The A2Z Blogging Challenge for L is Learning to Just Write.

It's a lesson I need to ingrain. A lesson to drive away the excuses for not writing. 

But my computer is down for the count. Just Write. Paper and pen, smart phone, typewriter--all are available. Just Write.

But I won't be able to participate in the challenge if I write off-line.  Just Write. You can use the computer at the public library, your alma mater, work (after work hours), or an internet cafe  to post what you wrote off line.  Just Write.

But my spell check has started giving my previous typos as "correct" spelling--making editing a nightmarish chore. Just Write.  You still have a hard copy dictionary. Somewhere. So what if it takes longer. Just Write.

It takes time, practice, determination, and perseverance to learn anything. Writing well is no different. Take classes, attend workshops and conferences, join others with like minds. What ever you choose to do, Just Write.

But I'm behind. Again. And I just don't have the time. So catch up.  Make the time. Write a haiku waiting in the grocery line. Get up an hour early. Go to bed an hour later. All it takes is to...Just Write.

But I don't write well, or the conten is drivel--or any or any other "It's not good enough" thoughts.  Just Write. Do you honestly think everything has to be as weighty (and boring) as The Illiad?  There are so many genres to choose. Pick one. Or two. Make up your own. Turn Drivel into a genre. Just Write.
