Writing? Really? #reverb10
3 Dec
The Prompt: December 2 – Writing. What do you do each day that doesn’t contribute to your writing — and can you eliminate it? (Author: Leo Babauta)
Truly this prompt annoys me to no end and so early in the process! Leo Babauta seems to be have presupposed that we are all needing or desirous to write wahy more than we are. In fact write we do at ILCMA. We write newsletters and posts for blogs, twitter, facebook, & linkend. We write articles and document research. We try to write grant applications. Wow this one really brings out the whine in me--which isn't exactly what I would want to take forward and manifest in the new year.
Still, it is a strange prompt it seems. What do we do each day that doesn't contribute to our writing? Serve people in needs, train professionals, conduct research, create new ideas? These all seems pretty valuable. Yet we know that we need more time to write. We need others to join us in writing, particularly guest blog posts, Science and Somatics articles, and grant applications. Personally, sleep is as likely a candidate to give up to write more as anything else I do for writing and although it is 5 a.m. and the start of an early travel day, I generally refuse to give this particular item up.
To end on a more uplifting note and fits with the theme of the entire Reverb10 challenge -- What do we want to manifest next year? Time, back to the Day 1 work again: community and the continued joy of making a difference.
