This is my 500 for 12/4/2017

Tap tap tap… tapping away at the keyboard… pressing away the pain.. pressing forward in my mind, thoughts and fears. I wonder if others care to notice. I wonder if that is what drives me. I think that there is something else.. I recognize that this progress is not sustainable without a feeling that I am contributing towards a greater cause.. something that we are all connected to.. similar to something that presses for the advancement of the fellow that sits alongside us in the bunker. Because we are all in this fight together… we are all at war with…

Locate the self. Pull it all in. You know the person that you are when you collect your thoughts… place them all in a jar and light them on fire.. what burns away are the temporary.. the fleeting material possessions that we are convinced make us better people. I want to learn to live with less… the goal in life is the experience that I wish to create.. the experience that I paint is a piece of art that is being added to.. constantly.. and I am the only one that decides when it is done.

The fact remains, that something is better than nothing… at least for me. I mean, I am much better off writing something and posting it if I am interested in improving my writing skills… feedback is such a necessary part of this beast.

I am working to update this blog with more regular content. One of the ideas that I am playing with is utilizing an already existing daily ritual I have of writing a minimum of 500 words as quickly as possible and just seeing what comes out. A lot of times it doesn't make sense. Actually, it rarely makes sense. But the reason why I am going to start posting these exercises here on the daily is that I know that done is better than perfect. So, think of these half-baked posts as, well, half-baked. I hope it ends up tasting…
