Writing is a muscle

Writing is a muscle. You train it. Not to be good, but so your brain knows you’ll use it.

Write a lot. Most of it won’t be great. That’s fine. At some point the good work comes through. You can’t schedule when.

I’ve posted something every day for over a year now. Some are shit. That was never the point. Output is the point. The reps.

When I started my YouTube channel, I obsessed over the system. How do I create a video every day but post twice a week? The system made it possible. Not motivation. Not inspiration.

Few people read my stuff. That’s okay. This is my habit. Output is the habit.

Faulkner said it: “I only write when inspiration strikes. Fortunately it strikes at nine every morning.”
