Writing With No Expectations
The heart beat
Jul 18, 2022
The way I see writing is the same way I see my heart beating.
My heart doesn’t consciously show up, to beat. It’s not moody on a Monday moring. It doesn’t flop out of bed on a Monday morning thinking ‘urgh, more beating today’. That’s the same way I feel about writing.
The way I feel about writing is more like a continum. A spread of yesterday’s ideas bleeding into today’s perspective. The more I think about it, the more I have no expectations of writing.
I write because I have to.
Writing has become an inevitability.
Like my heart beating, I have to. At least for the time being whilst life seems confusing and messy. Maybe that’s how it always feels.
