Consistency is Boring
Someone asked me how can I keep up with my writing? I write nearly everyday but the audience reached is limited. She asked whether I feel bored from my writing? I do not feel bored at all. Writing has helped me to get some of my thoughts in order. Whenever I struggled with an idea, it means I have not thought it through.
By consistently writing, I have learned a lot about myself. Looking back at my first few entries, the writing was terrible. The writing is still terrible but improved. How did I improve? It is by consistently writing. During the early stage of this blog, I have no more than 10 readers a week. Every night, I would sit down and reflect over my day before putting words into the screen. There are days that I would draw a blank, and there are days where I can write a few days' worth of ideas.
I do not wait inspiration as inspiration is rare. When is time, I just sit down and let my fingers type whatever that it wishes to type. Occasionally, I see myself as a conduit for ideas. I do not own those ideas; I am just a tool that solidifies the idea into words.
If you want to improve your skills, do not wait for inspirations or motivations. Be that person who takes action. Be willing to do the boring stuffs, it is always the boring stuffs that brings you to the next level.
