I Didn’t Feel Like Writing Today, So Here’s What I Did Instead

Maybe It Will Work for You

Today, it was one of those days.

I just didn’t feel like writing.

I started to go through my idea list, and nothing clicked. I often have days where I open up my idea list, and the first one doesn’t pop. Either I can’t remember what I was thinking, or I’m not inspired by it. So, depending on which, I either delete it or skip it.

But some days are like today. I open idea after idea, and they all bore me.

Or at least don’t motivate me to start typing.

So, I closed that down and thought about what I did want to do today. I am also a photographer, so I decided to get some shooting done. I hadn’t decided which subject to shoot, so I was mulling over which lens to use.

This got me thinking about a beginning photographer having the same issue as me, a twenty-year veteran. What lens should I use.

So I wrote this article.

While I was writing that article, I began to think about my original lack of interest. Now that I was actually writing, the spark had ignited. So what was wrong before. I write early, so it couldn’t be that I was tired.
