Too many ideas and voices.
It’s been around 40 days since I published an article, and I wanted to explain what happens in the writer’s brain.
Essentially, I have too many ideas for articles to write and this causes my brain to meltdown and write nothing.
While these ideas are flowing through the brain, life is happening; appliances need replacing, cars need repair, family trips, people passing away, bills getting lost in the mail, and other life happenings like work and chores.
In between all of this, these ideas sometimes don’t find place to be expressed in the short time frame I have to share them. The exercise becomes too difficult, the writing takes a back seat to just relaxing and doing productive things around the homestead.
Still, the writing brain is getting backed up with all of these ideas, and it begins to distrust they will ever see the light of day by being expressed and published. The hope of finding a fluid streamlined workflow for these ideas to be published diminishes and becomes less and less realistic — this could even lead to a permanent writer’s block in worst case scenarios.
Then again, most of the ideas don’t really deserve to be published. Maybe, the topic is over-saturated and would simply grow the hive mind’s trending social engineering agenda. Also, waiting and letting ideas marinate with time refines their expression if they last and finally get published.
This is what happens with this writer, in the process and effort to be a writer in the modern online world.
Let me try to explain another aspect of this effort.
There are so many voices online, so many problems being discussed, it is overwhelming. The noise of this online discussion makes me want to not add to it. Usually, I discuss topics that are not trending, yet even these seem to add to the overall noise. In the end, the noise just makes me want to opt out of the online world in general, including my writing.
Yet, I’m a writer, so the effort continues, despite all the challenges, real or imagined. Even the ones I can’t articulate very well.
The online world is a perception, the screens are a window into a perception being created for us by those who control what goes on the screens.
Sadly, two wonderful people in my extended family passed away in the last couple of months. My step dad Bill Kinney (Wild Bill) in February, and my Aunt Gloria this month of April. Both were very special people whom I loved very much, and they will be missed. My writing ideas include an ode to each of these people very soon.
Aunt Gloria was a big supporter of my writing and music, a paid sub on Substack, and Bill was a big supporter of me in general. Aunt Glo was a committed believer in Jesus Christ and a lover and seeker of the truth. Bill was a truth seeker and thoughtful person, a philosopher, yet wasn’t a believer until perhaps the end of his life when he did confess to believing in Jesus Christ as I did, which gives me hope.
This is just an update into what is happening in my writing brain. It is backed up with too many ideas, yet once the software has been updated, it will likely start working with more productivity and reliability, of course, without using AI.
Hope this finds you well, God bless in Jesus Christ, the way, the truth, and the life.
