Little steps
I keep thinking about so many things I want to write (or at least the ideas of things I want to write), and then, when I sit down to actually write them, I just don't.
I open up the post editor, then think, "I can't write x, because I also want to write y!" or "I can't write x, because my thoughts on it are incomplete!"
Firstly, just choose one to write now and another to write later.1
Secondly, write your incomplete thoughts! This isn't a dissertation, this is a blog post, a thing you are doing for fun! Besides, if you don't write something down, your thoughts will stay scattered.
I am still new to this, and I am trying to break the habit of writing for some imagined mass audience. I am not writing to some nameless, faceless person (unless that is who you are). I am writing for any individual that finds something valuable in my words, even if the only individual that happens to be is myself.
I know this is difficult. And usually the thing that keeps me from just choosing one to write is the incomplete thoughts thing; or it's that I just want to write it all, now, which means it would have to be multiple posts, which might be labeled as spam? Or I'd get burnt out, one of the two. But I want to learn to take things in little steps. I'm so used to making small, standalone things that I forget that big things are not made in a single, hour(s)-long sitting.↩
