Stuff is a technical term I like to use… Ok, I just didn’t know what else to call this post.I have written about 5 entries for this blog this evening. They are almost all awful and only one of them was published. Some of them may never make it. So why write them? I haven’t been sticking to my “write something everyday” goal… I have been pretty busy for the past two weeks and I don’t want this chain of not writing to continue. I was also reminded by some of my new co-workers today that I haven’t posted lately (Thanks guys).

I found that in a couple weeks of writing everyday, my writing improved (at least in my mind) and it has gotten rusty just as quickly. I am writing a bunch of stuff to get back into it. This is my cure for writers block and being in a non-writing rut.

I’m ok with never publishing most of this stuff. I’m ok with it sitting there for another week waiting to be edited. I’m even ok looking at these posts and admitting that they are bad. They can be improved. They can be trashed. If I get back into the swing of things and start writing regularly again, they have served their purpose.

So if you ever find that your writing is getting rusty or you have writers block, just write a bunch of stuff. It seems to be helping me.
