Write on a Downward Slope
How to Pick up Your Writing Every Morning
“I make writing as much a part of my life as I do eating or listening to music.” — Maya Angelou
I woke up, wondering what I should write.
Should I work on my book, journal article, or short piece for Medium?
Should I work on them all?
But which one first?
As I made coffee — my squirrel brain running toward oblivion — I spilled coffee grounds on the floor. Momentarily diverted, my thought pattern resumed its circular motion as soon as I put the coffee on the stove.
After breakfast, I sat down to write. I opened the book manuscript and stared.
Where should I start?
Maybe I should work on Chapter 3. I open Chapter 3, only to realize it’s finished.
Great! I’ll write the journal article. But I open it and can’t figure out what I wrote. I’ll open the Medium article.
