Ya know it’s funny… I feel like I have to be in a certain “headspace” to write these. I’m doing it right now, that thing where I write a little bit of whatever and then walk around as I figure out the next thing. In reality, I should just do the logical thing and write whatever comes to mind.

Feels funny, talking about this when I know that there’s actually something else I want to talk about. Question is, what is that other thing? And why does it sometimes feel elusive? Do I just not have a firm grasp on my own ideas? Do I rely too much on spontaneity? Must I always do that thing where I’m trying to capture lightning in a bottle?

…ya know, the whole thing of constantly asking questions doesn’t help. But still, they DO say that when you’re wanting to write, that it IS good to write anything on your mind. So with that said, what will this post accomplish? Sure it’s gonna get all this out of my head, but will it do something else?

I’m probably over-analyzing it. A part of me always loves looking at things under the surface, but doing that too much can slow things down. I’m someone who likes going into details, so it’s fun taking it all apart. I feel like that’s a recurring thing, and as someone who’s still got a lot to learn, I consider it an essential. When it comes to things like writing blog posts, though, simplicity is your best friend.

Funny how things seem to come full-circle when I think about it. I think of it as a mental kick of sorts. Any kind of realization that makes you want to direct yourself to the nearest wall where you willingly smack your head is always the best kind of realization. It may hurt, but it reminds you to stop over analyzing. Always remember your abilities, boys and girls. And furthermore, don’t be afraid to take notes.

But do keep ’em organized. Seriously, a lot of these things I wrote while listening to the Spice Girls are all over the place.
