Thanks for the shoutout! Awesome piece! Love the below especially-

“Writers block is a monster, but it’s a monster of our own creation. We create it ourselves by trying to be what we are not. We create it ourselves by trying to do what we cannot. We create it ourselves by attempting to cage thought, creativity, inspiration, revelation, understanding, words and the world within an impossibly tiny area of time and space.

And

Basically the creative part of the brain is an asshole. A trickster. “Hey, you know how you can’t think of anything so you decided to get some sun and go fishing to clear your mind? I thought it’d be funny to FINALLY give you a few ideas. Oh, and you know that concept about entropy you’ve been wresting with? Here’s how it connects to EVERYTHING ELSE. Haha, good luck, chump.

Now good luck reeling in that fish while reaching for your notebook.”

Also, since I consider myself a conversationalist, I find ease in speaking rather than writing first. One tool I’ve been working to use more for writing is called loom. I can simply record a video and the transcript that’s collected becomes a piece. What I like most is that’s it’s in my words, tone, etc in the writing. Check it out if you have time!
