Fill Empty Spaces With Words (Just Write)
There is no fear like the fear of a blank page. What now sits empty, could be filled with words. What sits empty, could also stay empty. There is no prerogative to bring words into the world, except for will.
You will the cursor to move forward, think of words, however imprecise, imperfect, and your brain tells your fingers to move and black type appears on the white background. If you don’t start, you will never start. These verbal utterances will never appear, and your words will never be read, because they do not exist.
If you think about it that way, you probably owe it to yourself to write something today.
Write your thoughts into being.
Don’t worry yet how good they are.
Fill blank spaces with words.
The space between thoughts and typed or written words is the space of “bringing into being”, that which did not exist before.
For writers, the empty page appears as a monster does in a small child’s dreams. There is no fear like the fear of the empty page. Fill it.
This word, and the one after, and the ones that follow that… write them to understand the world. Write of real things, or fake things.
