The hen or the egg? Yes, it matters to me

Robert asked if it really matters if it was the hen or the egg (see previous blog entry).

When it comes to me understanding my own writing process it does matter if it is the hen or the egg. But I also respect that this is does not matter to the readers liking my blog.

I believe that it is important to write every day. To focus and write about something, anything.

If it is a blog or a script or a poem does not really matter.

I started this blog to keep myself writing and when I did I also kept on working with my current script. It paid off that I wrote close to every day. And that feeling is great.

So when I’m making slow progress on my current feature script I have to ask myself why.

Yes, I have been writing on other things, like the script based on Robert’s story, and my own short script. That is as it should be. Those go first.

But now, “between works”, why don’t I write that much on my current feature?

If I’m not in the mood, I ask myself why. I know it is no good to sit on my butt and wait for inspiration.

I want to be able to write professionally. In my day job I’m known to be a reliable team player delivering on time. That is a trademark I like to keep. But then I must understand how I work when I write. And when I don’t write.
