Writing about writing
clark • 15 May 2022 •
I’m still feeling pretty uninspired on the writing front. I have continued to question lately whether this is a habit worth keeping. I just have not been seeing the benefits I did when I first started. If I’m being completely honest, I also get slightly annoyed at having to make time to do it.
However, I have felt this way before about other routine habits that I know are good for me. I see a therapist virtually every couple of weeks, and sometimes get annoyed at making the time for that, despite knowing the many benefits of therapy.
I wonder if part of this is a limited threshold for how much repetition I feel like I can tolerate at any given time. So much of life is repetitive already. Maybe having one more thing I do over and over again gets annoying?
Something tells me that I should stay the course regardless of how I’m currently feeling about writing, and that Future Me will be glad that I did. I think having an archive of some of my thoughts will be nice to look back on or reference in the future.

It’s not a lack of things I could write about, but that I’m finding it difficult to find a reason to continue with the writing habit.
This will be my last post, at least for the time being. I don’t currently feel like I have the energy or inclination to keep writing. I may be back soon, we will see. Thanks for the great experience here on LifeLog, regardless of where the future takes us 🙏
@clark Sad to hear you go (even if for a short while) Clark! But can relate. Sometimes we need a breather, a break, to get some perspective. I was wondering too if you needed a review on your deeper why. Maybe time will tell…
Btw, if you feel the need to have a hiatus to your monthly subscription, let me know. We can postpone charging for a month or 2 if needed.
Is your new job boring already? Should be plenty of material to write about from that. Or you can tell us how the horses are doing.
