So it has been almost 20 days since my last post! Now of course I have been busy putting up my website and all, but still this is one of my priorities, so I need to show up here more.Now this does not mean that I did not write anything this past 20 days. I have some posts in draft folder, but nothing published. So this means, essentially I have not posted anything in 20 days. The drafts don't count here. Sure, they count in my writing quota, but because they were not published, they have no life. They are in limbo.
This is not about having something to show - I do not need to prove anything to anyone. This is purely about finishing things that I start and having the commitment and drive to create, shape, and ship. When I get into this habit of following this curve, my creativity is satisfied and I have the ability to put more things "out there". Why? Because that is what I do.When I write and publish more, the process triggers more inspiration, and more creative thought. The goal is not to be perfect all the time. The goal is to recognize the spark, give it a platform, watch it unfold into something totally unexpected and ultimately allow it to take flight when it is published. I cannot just keep these things within me or put them in draft-folder cage and leave them there. It is my responsibility to ensure that they get their flight. It is their right. The spark need to be put out in the open, in the best way possible for that time, then what happens to it after it comes in contact with air - whether if becomes a big fire, goes out, turns into something else - is its own destiny.
They came from nothing, turn into something and then they expand and sometimes go beyond being just an idea or a group of words. And sometimes they don't. And that's okay. The process is more important.
