Yes! I am boldly continuing, despite having noting to say. Thinking about it, I would rather have a blog where I wrote every day about how I didn't have anything to say than a blog where I only posted twice a month to lament about how I never write anymore. Like, neither of those is frankly ideal, but the goal is twofold here:
1) Consistency. I need to just continue writing. Keep those fingers dancing across the keyboard. Quantity over quality for the sake of building the right muscles in my brain. To make writing a Thing That I Do.
2) Perseverance. There are going to be stretches of time like this where just don't feel like I can produce anything of merit. It may well be absolutely true, but if I don't work through it then I will just stall out. I mean, demonstrably. That's pretty much the recurring story here.
I have this dream where my mind can provide for my family with the things it comes up with for my hands to type out. I've always had this dream, and it has always felt impossibly unrealistic. It's even more far-fetched, though, if I'm not physically writing things; that is an insurmountable prereequisite.
