Blood & Rain Episode 43: “I’m Never Content with my Content”

“How do I write?”

“How do I start making content?”

Did you expect some kind of step by step template guide?

How to make content in sixty seconds?

Oh you want me to spoon feed you right?

I can’t do that.

You should want to punch me in the face if I did that.

 I could give you every trick under the sun of how to refine your content. 

I could point you towards Hemingway to be as refined and concise through using the fewest, most powerful words possible. 

I could point you to Fitzgerald who used as few or many words to paint gorgeous prose that drips off of the page. 

I could tell to stretch your ideal muscle, which I have, do, and will continue to do. 

I could tell you to be inspired, you need to actually consume something inspiring. 

I could tell you that you need to live in order to write, and that honestly just goes without saying. 

I could tell you you just need actually do the damn thing and just write like no one is watching cause no one actually is, unless you’re like me and enjoy writing in crowded places, but regardless, I watch my six, meaning no one is seeing each word emerge in ink on parchment. 

I could tell you to forget about an idea and walk around the block to find clarity. 

But really, the best thing I could do is be as raw and cutting as possible and attempt to give you some form of baptism where you’re just close enough to drowning that the intensity and presence is dialed up to 11 but far enough that you have the room to realize exactly who you are. 

Then, you can start.
