I Hate Writing Blogs
It's not the writing itself I dread — it's everything before the first word lands. The blank page, the silence, the not knowing. Until it isn't.

This may seem strange as a title looking at all the content I have made, but it's actually not the writing of the blogs that I don't like — it's the lead-up to it.
If I am not inspired, there is a sense of dread of the unknown. Will I have something to say, or will there be nothing?
I think the issue is living out the moment in your head before it happens. It's like waking up to go to the gym or going for a walk. You think it's going to be rough until you start.
If you listen to music — which I don't, and I have mentioned my reason for this in earlier blogs — you start to enjoy the beat of the song and get into a rhythm.
I get into my creative zone and then things start to flow.
Once I Am Into the Process, Everything Is Gravy
Once I am into the process, everything is gravy.
I almost don't want to stop.
It's hard when I get interrupted because I have to start the process again.
I have to fight the part I hate to get to the part I love.
I enjoy writing when I am inspired because I feel like there is purpose and I am not wasting time spinning my wheels.
There is an apprehension before you can get to the good stuff. It's like eating your vegetables as a child before you can have your dessert.
You know that you have to do it, but if you had the choice, you wouldn't.
I take the good with the bad, but I have to admit I procrastinate and push it back much longer than I should most days.

You Have to Fight for Your Voice
I started using AI to edit my blogs because it was fast and efficient. Then it changed my perspective, invented things I never said, and taught me the importance of protecting my own voice.

Leave the First One Up
If you delete your first post, video, or clumsy attempt at explaining what you do, you lose the clearest record of how far you've come.

Lean Into It
A lifelong aversion to manual labour, a few expensive lessons, and the realization that what I couldn't build with my hands freed me to build something far bigger with my mind.
