Sitting here with an Org journal entry, a WordPress draft, Roam, and Micro.blog ready and waiting. Now what?
@cm It is a little meta :). Of course my problem isnāt the lack of tools, or having too many tools. My problem is a dearth of publishable thoughts :).
@jack Hah! Searching for the best place to write at and then once you find it staring at it (or them) without an ounce of idea to put down there ā thatās me a lot of times š
@cm This is interesting and timely because Iāve been thinking about creative prompts lately. Iāve concluded that, for me, theyāre not useful. Iām not striving to be a capital-W Writer (or a Photographer or whatever), so if I donāt feel like creating something, I just donāt. My thinking is that if I have to force myself to create, why bother? If I canāt be someone who simply must write or draw or make music, I should maybe do something else. Writing may simply be a staircase I need not ascend right now. (there it is! š).
So, I guess your prompt worked, just maybe in a different way than intended! :).
@rnv Good stuff! One thing Iām not sure about is āSo a prompt for a writer is no different from, say, a fingering exercise for a musician.ā Iām not sure. Wouldnāt the equivalent for a musician be more like a phone reminder saying āgo pick up your guitarā?
I could certainly use a little obession and vocation. Prompts or no prompts :)
