I love reading, do it a lot of and per my Goodreads I’m “well read”. I’m less convinced how much I’ve learned from all the reading that would make me a better writer though. I definitely fell into the trap of wanting to have written a book myself. I grew out of that but still felt/feel like I want to write. The issue that remains is that I’m just not sure I have anything to say!

> not sure I have anything to say

You wrote something here and I read it. If you really feel it had such low value, why put it here for me to waste time reading it?

The best way I’ve found to start writing is to time box yourself. Set aside 15 minutes and just don’t let yourself do anything else.

I feel very accomplished now that I’ve wasted just as much of your time back lol
