I have to rethink why I write a lot,
maybe it is because I hit a wall after a few days of writing,
there are a few methods I like: “write 10 pages a day/ good or bad, write ten pages, then put down the tools and enjoy the rest of your day” this is paraphrasing something I read in Stephen Kings ‘On writing’ a few years back,
I think it is a good way to keep it happening, just start writing, forget about editing and fixing things up, just write, I have seen artist across many forms do the same thing, painters draw, several quick sketches before they settle down with a work that they like, warming up I guess?
And for me that is ten post a day, I don’t think they are any good yet, but that is not the point the point is for me to quickly produce short thoughts at a moments notice, warm up my writing and by the tenth, or ninth have something worth reading that I can be happy to have written.

Most of my stuff is in visual arts at the moment and each final thing takes a bit of time, but I go through multiple versions of each thing in my head/ on paper before I get to the end. Does this help?

whenever I see art in a gallery , I imagine the many images lined up next to it that took the artist to get to that image. I kind of like seeing the ‘bones’ of an art piece. 🙂
