13: out of ideas
why is it so damn hard to write when i have no ideas?
when there's a good idea in my head the words just spill themselves onto the page. i hardly have to write... my fingers seem to move themselves across the keyboard and the words flow on their own.
a good idea has a mind of its own.
but when i sit in front of the blinking cursor, even with a list of 10 fresh topics (h/t james altucher for the idea machine method) it feels like i have nothing to say.
staring at a vault of mediocre ideas feels like ordering buffalo wings except the waiter brings me a basket of bare chicken bones.
i don't even want to touch it. or look at it.
