nothing of note to say - part 2

When I started this blog, I had all the momentum and motivation in the world, I was writing a post almost daily and granted, some of them were good and some were... Less so, but I was writing for myself so it didn't matter in terms of 'good' and 'bad'.

That feeling hasn't changed, but I've found myself focusing on different things over the last few weeks, whether it's been socially, with my career or other personal things going on that happens in every day life.

Unfortunately, this has led to me writing a little less than I would like and having a feeling of losing that momentum.

Essentially, I wanted to write a post to remind myself that it's okay to not always have something of note to say, not every post needs to be a deep reflection or an insightful piece, sometimes we need to get something out so we can say we have and bring up the possibility of new ideas coming to us.

I believe the term is 'free-writing' (although I may be wrong on this, so please don't take that as gospel).

Essentially, I'm writing whatever comes to my head and I'm publishing it because it may be a reminder to you that it's okay if you write something that doesn't have as much meaning as your other posts, or isn't as informative or entertaining.

The point is that you're writing and you're thinking - doesn't have to be about anything in particular, but just enough to say "I have nothing of note to say and that's alright".

I even created a piece of art about it...

Nothing of Note to Say

So, with that said... Happy Saturday and go get some writing done.

Edit: I didn't realise I'd already posted something about having nothing of note to say, which has a completely different tone... See, already learning.
