Okay, I have realized that wanting to learn a new skill is actually being afraid of using one I already know; writing.
I’ve been holding onto an idea for a novel for about 17 years now. I’ve had a 100s of false starts, a million excuses and self-imposed road blocks.
The world is in a place of uncertainty and it’s a bleak thought that art and creativity is being eked out by computers and a general carelessness for our own brains.
Will my mark on the world be significant, or will it be a mote of dust drifting in the slipstream? Doesn’t matter, all that matters is that I did it.
Time to just do it, to shit or get off the pot.
