Try To Write

Writing is hard.

It's hard because it requires some level of advanced thought. That doesn't mean you need to be a genius. But instead, you need to roughly conceptualize what you'll write before it lands on the page.

This post is about a bit of writers block. I'm experiencing it not due to a lack of writing topics. I'm quite curious about quite a few topics, and I've had at least one conversation and listened to a few podcasts over the last few days that have really sparked my motivation.

In fact, I've sat down to write my newsletter twice this week. But I haven't been able to put the words down because I didn't have a clear conception of what I was about to do. I was scattered, and also, quite tired both times. I was thinking about different ways to start the posts, but the thoughts were disparate. They didn't allow me to introduce a newsletter in any coherent.

My best newsletters tend to flow out both quickly but also with a lot of coherence. That doesn't mean I don't correct, re-draft, etc. but instead that the first take is arrives on the page quickly and with solid structure (imo).

Does this happen to anyone else?
