How to Start Letting Your Creativity Flow While Writing?
I love my new 2-step writing method.
My head is spinning with a gazillion stories to write about. It’s not the ideas that don’t come up. There’s something else to it.
Perfectionism perhaps sounds like a cliché thing to say during a job interview, but I’m not a fan of this quality. At all. More often than not it feels like someone is watching over my shoulder when I do anything creative. Causing a blockage. Ending up not creating freely.
And what’s the best way to write creatively?
That’s right. To write like nobody’s watching.
I’ve been active on Medium for a bit over a month. Those 7 published articles you see in the screenshot above have cost me a ton of effort. Especially:
- this article (aaa I was so excited it got published in Better Humans) and
- this article (publishing in Taking Off has been an amazing and supportive experience, KL Simmons is co-hosting a fantastic publication there!).
I’ve spent days on writing, editing, removing paragraphs, adding tags, removing tags, linking to sources, finding the right publication. And I’m guilty of editing after publishing.
