READING, WRITING

Read for 70 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says that a further problem with the theory that "muscle" leads to control is that it hasn't worked that way.  It's generally true that men in their 60s can control men in their 20s, even though they're likely to be much weaker physically.  Same idea applies to mafia bosses, popes, etc.  There must be some other reason than musculature that determines who gets to control things in a society.

Read for 70 seconds in YOU ARE A WRITER by Jeff Goins.  He says that the way to genius/good writing is through rough drafts.  He mentions that I should write.  Commit to writing.  Right now.  It can be pen on paper OR typing on a screen.  But DO IT TODAY.

It's funny how the timing has evolved.  I was wondering earlier this morning if I should adopt being a writer as a job, to which I will report at 8am, and then work all day (within reason), and finish at 5 pm.

Since David's Deal has not materialized after 5+ years (!!!!!), I am considering moving on by becoming a writer, and reporting for work every morning, and staying at work all day.  I'll see.

I also pondered if I would be a fiction writer, or a non-fiction writer.  If I am a fiction writer, I will continue "telling lies" - things that are not true.  That's always bothered me - I've tried during my life to become a person who always tells the truth.  I even stopped doing (some) embarrassing things so that if I ever had to account for (or recount) what actually happened in my life, I could do so truthfully and honestly.

But then, fact/non-fiction can be terribly dull, boring, monotonous.  Even though I write for MYSELF, I also want others to know what I've written.

So...... I concluded this morning that I could actually write fiction that has a true message.  This is not a new idea, but it's an idea that I am "trying on" right now.  I might just head in the fiction direction, with the goal of weaving in some truth.  We'll see.

But, getting back to Jeff Goins' ideas......

He says I should write SOMEthing every day, even if it's just a headline.  In truth, I have written a lot already - the above thoughts.

But I believe he want's me to formally begin writing, and to review & edit until it's good, or just right, or.... genius.

So that's what I'll do, when I begin writing today.
