Have enjoyed this thread. In regard to Bopanna’s comment “What if I am not pleased with my writing?”==So what?
Why on earth would you expect your first attempt to be pleasing–to yourself or anyone? Only practice can make you
a better writer. If we decided to learn piano, no one would expect to play Carnegie on your first attempt. But somehow
writers believe they should be publishable on their first attempt. Give yourself freedom to learn; enjoy the process.

Whether writing is priority or not – was good to mull over. I always think that I should start
writing but never get around to doing it, despite having the time. In addition to the fact that
it might not be the ‘right time,like you suggest, I feel it is the fear of failing.
“What if I am not pleased with my writing”…”What if others do not find it good enough”.
There is another factor: When people appreciate you for some particular writing, we might
generalise it and expect ourselves to do well in all kinds of writing. I am particularly
good at writing letters. That does not qualify me for writing fiction…though I would be
thrilled if I could write one.

Good Morning!
I’m a “Purpose writer”. I write about selling real estate, to train and motivate my real estate agents
agents. I suspect many are like me – writing to very mundane purpose . . . I WANT TO write something meaningful. Tough stuff.
I’m “Format frustrated”. I don’t have the time to write a short story, but I do have the minutes
to write down some lines of what may someday be a song – I often compose while driving. It
allviates some of the frustration. . .

Thanks for that, it’s a nice article, all the more so for being concise. I liked what you said about speed writing in particular, as my biggest hurdle is always overcoming the urge to stop, double check, delete the last paragraph, and so on, which isn’t productive in the initial stages.

That’s why I’m doing Nanowrimo this year, to build up my recently ailing daily speed writing. So far I’m 1.7% in, and have twenty one days left to hit 50,000. Ulp.

I set up my own blog ‘deadliner’, too, to help myself and others keep on target. Take a look if you get the chance, I’d appreciate your thoughts.
