As I am in the midst of scrambling together a formula of words to form sentence after sentence. I watch myself almost from the outside looking in....forming numerous paragraphs.
Checking back the first draft saying to myself "is it good enough?" and "what can i do better"
Again I type thoughts that manifest themselves into text for the reader to articulate. Another page now is complete but still..i ask: "is it good enough?" and "what can i do better"
I redraft my first draft, and continue sketching out with the alphabet...a clear image of what I envision.
And then it happens...writers block. No ideas, no purpose for questioning, nothing but the still silence of uncertainty as I stare blindly back at my screen.
It is in this moment that I am reminded of one of my idols famous quotes...yes...I can hear it repeating in my head over and over. Calming the anxiety, relieving the stress, able to think clearly, I breathe, exhale and continue on with my journey.
I'd like to share that quote with you:
"Empty Your Mind. Be Formless. Shapeless. Like Water...
Now You Put Water Into A Cup, It BECOMES The Cup.
You Put Water Into A Bottle, It BECOMES The Bottle.
Put It In A Teapot, It BECOMES The Teapot.
Now Water Can Flow, Or It Can Crash...Be Water My Friend".
- Bruce Lee
