Writer's Block?: Quite The Opposite For Me - This Is Why I Am Joining The Beast Challenge; To Fail

I want to share a part of my life with you, and I am hopeful it will help you not just for the Beast Challenge, but way into the future. Please switch of the stage lights and let's spoon a talk one on one without the world looking in. I hope to also share with you the main difficulty (difficulty?) that I have experienced in the last one year.

A Little About

December 25th 2017, I stood under my shower for 35+ minutes, reflecting on what I have done so far and what I needed to do. This is a ritual I do every year, on my birthdays. I have literally stopped making New Year Resolutions( at least not the mainstream types). One of the shower decisions I made was to Write Everyday, every single day.

I was already the type that wrote a lot(not plenty LOT), it always surprised me how ideas and stuff to write about comes to me. But, they just come!. I just want you to know that before I had that long shower bath, I was already a pen-type-of-person.

Through 2018, I didn't just write one "piece" a day, but I wrote a 'meager' count of 417 pieces before the year ran out( excluding the ones I did as a Ghost Writer, and some were really short during the days I couldn't cut out enough time). Oh yes!, I have a counter, you should too.

In Light Of My Decision

The day I made the decision to write daily, I never experienced any writer's blocks moving forward. It was as though I had deceived my mind(deceived?). My mind must have taken that decision with me! I think the decision opened a different energy realm for me. Ever since, I have always seen something to write about.

It sucks sometimes and I wish I could just stop writing or stop thinking about writing. It was becoming a pain in the ass, but I was enjoying this odd kind of pain.

My Bind and The Beauty There-In?

There was a clause, - something that I couldn't really deal with. I wrote so much, but never really shared 97% of them with the world (anecdotal estimation). I don't get writer's block(at least for the last 1 year), yet I have a major Restriction as a writer. I've mentioned it already; I hardly share stuff.

This was perhaps a type of Block for me! I don't care much about that though, perhaps, subconsciously I was not the type that could just "hit" the post button on steemit, facebook, whaleshares or anywhere else. However, I grew fond of condensing 'most' ideas I had written about into a 'Summary Kind of Post' and let it fly into the world. That said, I often shared 'some' of my work with my close circle of a tiny humans (hehehehe) and anyone who happened to be dealing with an issue I had already written about.

This was my bind! and perhaps a Special Type of Block, yet I saw beauty in it.

This Is Why I Am Joining The Beast; To Fail

It took me days to decide whether to join the beast or not. @erodedthoughts can attest to this. lol. But I have taken the decision to join because I want to FAIL. Now, don't get me wrong, the Beast is a Challenge ( a very very worthy one) but I think this is one challenge I am most likely to fail at than succeed, because of my beautiful restriction :joy: :joy:

Yesterday, I asked @merej99 a question during the Snekky curation show

What if You post 20 posts in 14 days? but missed a day?

I asked this question for a reason; to take the easy way out and Just post 3 posts per day!. Then, I will be done with the torture in less than 4-5 days. Instead of having to deal with the daily posting (even though I had so much stuff written lying waste somewhere).

@merej99's response;

nope. 1 post a day. no catch ups. sorry. :stuck_out_tongue:LOL

Thank you Merej99... :expressionless:

So, I will take the Savage path, perhaps I can convince my stubborn self to share a post daily. Even if I fail, it would be super worth it. Damn, I am pretty strange..lol

I Shall Hug The Beast But With Fresh Contents

I shall hug the beast with my hands and what could possibly go wrong? (Drop a rank from Savage?, I will still be a beast nonetheless, lol). I shared a screenshot of the first visible section of my google Keep app above, in there are lots of topics or short statements(written roughly) that I already developed into nothing less than 450 - 700 words each, perhaps I can share some of them before or 'most' after the Beast challenge ends since they were all written for Whaleshares exclusively.

Yesterday, I stopped penning my post for the "Wine of The Week" question after the first paragraph, and I hope to kick-start my beast Journey with the question; "If Happiness Were to be Sold, How Much will it cost".

I will try my best to ditch all my old materials. I, @immortal-tongue have just two options; "Ditch them and succeed or Ditch them and Fail"!. At the end, I will accomplish my purpose of joining the beast despite the outcome.

My advice to Anyone Who Will Be taking this Challenge;

Write fresh contents as much as possible. Personally, the aim of the Beast goes beyond "the finish line". Perhaps, after you've finished Beasting, it will help you transcend into a new chapter of out-pacing writer's blocks and "laziness". Yes!, Laziness.

Conclusion?

I Don't Do Conclusions.

If you haven't signed up for the beast, you are still in luck. Everything you need to know about it is within @lexiwitness' blog.

See you all around and thank you for listening to my boring Tongue. With the Beast, there is so much to win and Nothing to lose. I am eager to learn so much, get to know more people and keep my goddamn tongue in a locker full of sweets and candy.

Beastly Regards,
Tongues
