A good writer
Today is Sweden’s National Day. It’s not a big deal here, really, we don’t celebrate it much. The most noticeable thing is that we get a day off.
I used my free morning to write right after breakfast. There’s something special about writing in the morning. A kind of emptiness and freshness. It’s as if the brain hasn’t yet started analyzing, comparing, or drawing conclusions.
An unconditional kind of writing.
I wouldn’t say it’s better writing. It’s just different from writing at the end of the day when the mind is filled with new impressions and experiences. That kind of writing has its own time and place. They complement each other.
We all have our reasons for writing, and we all have our blogging workflow. However we go about it, I think it’s important not to hold too tightly to these principles.
Life is far from routine. Take a closer look at nature, it’s a mess, real chaos. Yet it’s breathtakingly beautiful. Perfection in its truest sense.
If we want to transform spontaneous thoughts and fleeting emotions into written words in an unfiltered and honest way, maybe we need some of that natural chaos. Maybe the definition of a “good writer” is someone who writes even when the conditions are “bad for writing.”
