Do it. Don't write about it.

This blog has become a hazard for creativity. Instead of doing the work, I'm just talking about it.

I talked about goalsetting. But I'm not doing it.
I talked about learning. And I'm not doing it.
I talked about organising one's time. I'm not doing it either.
I talked about creative work. All I'm doing is to improvise one post per day to meet an arbitrary deadline.

This has been a theme since the very beginning. I can't stand it any longer. I know exactly what I need to do about it. I'm just not doing it. It's easy to say that I'm lacking the discipline. But this is as helpful as trying to convince your car that no, the fuel gauge doesn't show that the tank is almost empty and we'll reach our destination if we just keep thinking positively.

I don't want to write about my dreams, goals, and aspirations. Talking about your dreams makes them less likely to happen. But they always are the first thing that come to my mind. That's why I started to write fiction again. I just wanted to write about anything else. Fiction was the first idea, and a simple idea at that. Just start to make shit up. Maybe reading things other than Epic Fantasy and Self-help books would create a larger variety of ideas to write about. Maybe I'll need to take the "Write about anything" approach more literally and start to describe chopsticks to their uttermost details. But knocking of something each day without any notion of why I'm doing it doesn't help anybody.
