Out of curiosity, what kind of writing? Journaling and getting your thoughts out, or fiction, something else?


Honestly, I’m kind of all over the place with my writing right now, but I can’t stop. It’s one of the reasons I finally joined HN. I’ve been a long-time reader here but recently decided to start sharing my 2-cents here and there.

I started a blog to get my thoughts out and explore whatever sparked my curiosity. It’s been a creative blast, and I’m still figuring it out as I go.

I do journal, though it’s more of a quick log, tracking time and daily developments. My deeper writing is more immersed. Lately, I’ve been spending a few hours most nights working on a self-improvement book, which I’ve been enjoying writing.

One unexpected benefit I can’t emphasize enough is how much writing has helped me stay sharp and more focused in my day job. It’s like a reset button for the brain. If you’re feeling stuck or low on motivation, I really recommend trying something completely different in your routine, especially something outside your comfort zone, like switching from digital to analog. Thanks for asking!
