How I learned to write about nothing.
It took me a long time to learn.
I was inspired to write this article by a comment left by Christine Morris Ph.D. on my article How I Avoided Manual Labour for Most of My Life.
Christine left the comment “You have a great talent for writing about nothing.”
She is right. I do seem to be able to write about nothing. 😂
And below is the article I wrote in February 2023 that started it all.
What can I write about?
I am sure many of you wake up with this question on your mind, and I am sure most of you have a system to overcome your block. Unfortunately, I do not have a system to break my writer’s block. Well, I didn’t have one until today.
I have read many books on how to overcome writer’s block. Many of them tell me I should write about something I am an expert on.
I know quite a lot about the printing industry, but not enough to make it interesting to people.
I quite like strumming my guitar, but I could not call myself a guitarist. I can kick a football, but that doesn’t make me a footballer.
Other books tell me to write about something I am passionate about. I am passionate about some things, but I am not going to write about these…
