Doesn’t Everyone Know That? Can’t Everyone Do That?
Just because you know something and can do something easily doesn’t mean that’s how it is for everyone.
The written word comes easily to me. I sit down at my keyboard and start tapping away, the words come and my thoughts take me to many interesting places.
Some of those places are totally fantasy, invented of characters, situations, and places in my head. These get turned into my works of fiction. Others become articles about mindfulness, conscious reality creation, positivity, and numerous other non-fiction topics.
Writing is just something I know. Putting words to the page or screen is easy. It brings me comfort and makes me happy.
That’s me. But there are lots of others out there who can’t write without a step-by-step outline. Then there are those who can only write over a long, slow slog that takes tons of effort and concentration (in the time they write a single thing, I’ve written several). Finally, there are people for whom writing is torture, uncomfortable and a maker of misery.
The path I am choosing for my life takes the talent that comes easiest to me to the next level. But just because I thought this was something that everyone knows or can do this doesn’t mean that they can.
