Welcome to Wordy Wednesday at Blog-A-Rhythm. Last week’s linkup had 19 fabulous entries for the word prompt ‘Scream’! So lovely to see people stretch their creative muscles 🙂
Here’s our blogging tip for the week:
Write everyday
Before you gang up on me, please note that I just said ‘write’, not blog, not publish and not publicise everyday. That’s right. Writing is an art form and it is personal and evocative and powerfully capable of bringing the best and worst of our souls out into the open.
Writing everyday- on the computer, in a diary, on your phone, under the sky, on a train, at work- stimulates the mind. Don’t limit yourself. Don’t say, ‘Oh, let me write for an hour everyday’, because you will fail. Say instead, ‘Write everyday’. Whether that’s five minutes or five hours is totally up to your muse for the day.
Writing is good practise and while practising this won’t necessarily make you perfect, it will surely perfect the art of a habit. Don’t you agree?

Good tip about writing everyday. And I like what you say about perfecting the art of a habit. The prompt this week is also quite inviting, let me see what comes to me as a result of that 🙂

I can understand why writing daily would be a great exercise. However, I think it is also fine to just rest for a day or two or a week give or take or so and come back refreshed and rejuvenated. At least for me, ideas are everflowing as there is inspiration everywhere! I have numerous blog posts in various stages of draft and I do not feel inclined at this time to finish writing them off. I feel like I need/want/prefer a break right now and in part, due to the wonderful weather we are having of late, being outdoors more, etc. Just wonder…am I the only one who thinks this way? I think there is no right or wrong answer to this….just curious! 😉 ❤

I’ve never subscribed to that “You must write every day” mantra, Elly. 🙂 That would make it more of a chore and not as pleasurable. I write when the muse and the mood strikes.

I agree. Unless perhaps you are writing a book then it is understandable; however, even then a break might be ideal to have. However, I think it is fine to relax in between our writings from time to time. 🙂 ❤

I never said not to take a break. Ah, never mind. This will become too long a debate.

Er Debbie and Elly, you DO realise I meant any kind of writing- even grocery lists, for instance 🙂 I just mean that you shouldn’t worry about it being perfect or worth being published or read, but write for the love of it. Doing it daily is just a way for us to stay connected to that emotional part of our mind and brain. I have mentioned that it can be any kind of writing, even a text message to a loved one to say that you miss him/ her.
Anyway, this is just a tip, not the gospel truth 😉

Oh dear! Shailaja, perhaps I read that wrong or rather overlooked it. However, I certainly consider writing a grocery list or text different from “writing” and coming from you as a blogger/writer, I took your comments to heart meaning literal writing! 😉 ❤

Yes they are different of course. But writing is therapeutic. If you write a line everyday it helps. At least it helps me. For others it may not.

Thanks for choosing my prompt for this week 🙂 Also I agree with the blogging tip. It has been hard to find time just to pen my thoughts for a while now, let alone blog. But that is the way life will always be. This post motivated me to jump out of hibernation.

Do whatever works for you. Personally, I’ve never subscribed to that “You must write every day” mantra. That would make it more of a chore and not as pleasurable. I write when the muse and the mood strikes. “Go with the flow”. 🙂

It would be a weird day for me if I didn’t write something!
