If the Obstacle Is the Way, I’m on the Right Track. Resistance Is Not Futile

It’s a vast conspiracy

I need to write and post on Medium, but I can’t think of anything to write. I free-write ideas and I stare into space. It seems like forever, but a decent idea for a story comes forward from my crowded psyche.

I start typing, then the first interruption. “ Lawson, I need your help.” My wife yells from the kitchen or the living room. I mutter a curse and take a last look at the computer screen before going to see what my wife wants.

My wife is short, she needs me to reach things in the cabinets

I come back several minutes later. I read the incomplete sentence, but I have no idea where I was going. The thread is long gone. Sometimes, I can find the lost thread, but most of the time, I can’t. I can’t make her understand that she needs to let me write.

She surprised me when she agreed to let me explore ways to find a wider audience for my writing. I want to earn money with my writing, and Medium is not the place for that.

She doesn’t like me spending money on anything

Medium is a launchpad, it’s not the destination. By agreeing to allow me to explore other options. My wife removed an obstacle, but there is still more to get over or crash through.

There is a book in my TBR list, “ The Obstacle is the Way,” I know that I’m on the right track. I have to fight to get every word out of my brain and onto the screen of my laptop.

The TV is always on, loud enough to be heard on the Space Station

It’s so hard, the TV has to be on, and it has to be loud. There is always something that I have to do because the world will end as we know it if she has to wait for one second.

My wife isn’t the only problem with my writing. The biggest problem is me. I can’t figure out how other writers on this platform come up with quality content daily.

Coming up with content on a daily basis is so hard to do

There are always distractions and little things that rob me of focus. The sad thing. if I get locked in. I can do good work daily, I know that I have it in me to do it. It’s a fight though to get it done.

I will keep fighting resistance, and I will keep writing. Writing isn’t a game anymore. It’s something that I have to do. Working hard will make me a better writer, and obstacles are there to make me work harder.

Final Thought:

Don’t let the obstacles to your creative work get you down. They show you that you are on the right track. Work hard and do what you can to maintain focus and do the work. You will get to where you need to be.
