Writing every day

“Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere.”

- Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

I admire writers. Not just professional writers or authors. But anyone who commits to thinking and communicating clearly enough to write ideas down and share them. Writing takes courage.

I read an especially good piece of writing in 2019 - Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life, by Anne Lamott. I wouldn’t have shared this post if I hadn’t read that book. Lamott gave me permission to begin with a terrible first effort.

I’ve been writing almost daily in a personal log in Evernote for almost two years. But until now, I haven’t shared my work.

Starting today, and until further notice, I’ll share my work daily.

Often short posts.

But I’ll share something every day.

I admire writers. If I write consistently enough, maybe I’ll be one too.
