From this day forward, I vow to devote at least an hour each day to writing thanks to Srini Rao's (host of The Unmistakable Creative podcast) article on Medium wherein he wrote about how his life changed since starting his 1000-words-a-day morning habit.
If I can manage to write a minimum of 1000 words about anything from random life musings to answering crazy questions on Reddit, that'll be a good way to wipe away the dust off my creative juices. Not to mention it is a good practice if I want to be an accomplished content creator someday.
Moving on - this passage from Srini's article struck me the most:
If you write for an hour a day, you’ll have a reason to get up in the morning and have something to look forward to. As a result, you’ll be happier and more fulfilled. Once you’ve developed the habit of writing every day, it’s something that you’ll likely do for the rest of your life. You’ll become the author of your life story because words are the building blocks of all creation. With the power of words, we shape our reality and become the architects of our destiny.
Reading these lines made me realize what I should be doing to cultivate my passion for words. Perhaps I should express unsaid thoughts from my mind to my three-year-old laptop. Others things include brainstorming ideas for my next blog post, scouting for inspiration from fellow wordsmiths, find delight in writing prompts or reading about a variety of content to stay informed about what's happening in this wild world we live in.
Srini pointed out the many benefits of the 1000-words-a-day habit and I couldn't agree more with him. Writing gives you this power to feed your imagination, create your story, and build your own legacy. It can be therapeutic because you are able to express your thoughts - unfiltered, uncensored so to speak - each day using your laptop or pen and paper. Most importantly, writing for at least an hour a day gives you this great feeling of satisfaction, knowing that you are able to hone your craft in the process.
That's enough for today!
That's enough for today!
