This new writing thing and the new project
Writing Is Hard…
I don’t necessarily think its the act of writing that is difficult, I mean you just pick up a pen and start (or your keyboard in my case). The problem seems to be that there is major resistance to this part of things. I know its just fear causing uncertainty, procrastination and other such things as the defenses my brain shove in my path are easily countered.
I don’t really expect to be the next Hemingway and my poor spelling can be easily countered with good proofing and spell check. I have a dozen tools to make writing easier Scrivener, ByWord, TextMate and of course the use of Markdown a handful of scripts, text expanders and of course about a half a dozen tools not even mentioned in this article.
