Day 26–100 Days 100 Ways Being Visible
I experience new freedom in writing
Another day another article. When this article is done I will have written on 26 out of the past 27 days. Up until this project, I have almost never written something that has not been required of me. In this project, I am motivated by the daily deadline but not ‘pressured’ by it. I want to write and I don’t want to ‘break the chain’ of days on which I have written. For the first time that I can remember the empty page has me curious about what will appear upon it if I but start typing. I have started a list of ideas for being more visible and for topics that might be interesting to write about and I consult this each day but often I just write. I am experiencing a new freedom in allowing words to flow onto the page. I have a sense that it will work to just write what comes for now, and a sense of possibility that I could yet learn to craft my words. A sense that the self-assessment I have held for many years that I ‘cannot write’ is ungrounded, without evidence.
Today, I search for words and do not fear that I will find none and do not interpret my need to search as a sign of inadequacy. This is new for me.
I have more to say and I have said enough for today.
It occurs to me that, perhaps, I am enough. What a radical thought.
I think I will break my self-imposed rule that every post must have ‘Knowledge’ and ‘Progress’ headings.
I know that I am valuing this being-visible project and that I am making progress.
