17 Days In…And No Longer a Virgin!

Second installment of my Medium journey

Now a hardened vet, nothing scares me, no subject is too much of a stretch… I stand unbowed at the edge of a cliff, ready to dive…

Okay, okay, that’s not quite where I’m at, but I live in hope that I will be that fearless writer at some stage.

So — second week in, and my latest report from the front lines:

I think I’m doing okay? I think I’m doing well?

Thankfully, at this stage I care less about overall figures, and more that I’m connecting with readers in a meaningful way.

This morning was my first experience of avoiding my writing. I could just feel a small stirring of opposition and that inner voice chanting ‘No! Not again!’ —

I’m not sure whether this was co-dependency at it's highest, but I’d just finished reading a Medium article about the reluctance to write.

Perhaps I was inspired negatively by that. Or perhaps it’s par for the course 17 days in. Who the heck knows?

So aside from that twinge of reluctance, I feel I’m still a long way from being jaded. In fact the piece I ended up writing this morning was incredibly eye-opening —For me!
