My December 1st Restart

I have been on the sidelines when it comes to writing and publishing on my site and on Medium. Going as far as deleting most posts cause I felt the need for more practice to appear more polished.

Being unemployed for awhile made me feel that writing would not be helpful or something productive for me. I been reading quite a few articles on Medium ,WordPress and anywhere else I found an interesting article. It has been a big help.

Since November 1st, I have been practicing my writing to get into a habit/flow. What I have found is from so many examples is you have to write and make the mistakes. Publish articles and posts that no one reads or even opens the email. Writing a blog post can be as small as a few paragraphs to a full story, so length is fluid when it comes to posting. That makes much more sense to me now than before, always worrying about articles being too short or long. Deleting articles cause they seemed to run on or due to only being a paragraph or two.

Personally think what happened is what happens when most of us learn anything new - A Fear of Failure. I experienced this quite a bit when learning new tech skills to a point I would just stop learning and just shelf everything. Am I my own worst enemy at times? Yes, we all are at one time or another in life.

Also I am going to redo my website with a new theme and fix it further. I prefer a more plain and simple theme, where it almost looks just like an old newspaper.

Hope you might read an article or two sometimes.

Happy Thanksgiving and Hope you have a great day!
