Random Thought about Writing
It’s odd, at least for me, writing to nobody in general such as I am doing right now. I don’t know who, if anybody at all, will end up reading this, and that used to make me pause, and pausing in writing, like most other things that require ‘flow’, is a killer. So, I’ve just started writing to myself. I am my own internal audience and I really don’t think about any external audience because, ultimately, that wouldn’t change a thing regarding my writing – the content or quality – but thinking about vague people reading my words can, at the very least, impact my writing, and in the worst-case scenario, cause me to freeze up altogether.
So, if you’re starting a blog or looking to do any sort of writing, my advice – and take it for what it’s worth – is to not worry about your audience, just be concerned with the words and your own value of them.
PS: I realize this is not always true and/or good advice. For instance, if you are writing for children, it’s obviously a necessity to keep your audience in your mind while writing, etc. But in general, writing and not being concerned about the reader (i.e. not piling more pressure, stress, strain on yourself while writing) is a good thing.
