fulfill writing commitments
Inspired by John's writing conclusions is hard.
I write like an amateur too. Who knows how many grammatical mistakes remain in my writing even after countless edits? How poorly do I manage more nuanced aspects like diction, pacing, and continuity? What else am I missing?
Thankfully, those deficiencies haven't stopped me from writing as often as I have. To my knowledge, they haven't stopped people from reading my work, riffing on it, or writing to me about it. Yes, there's often better ways to word what I want to get across. Although, if people understand what I meant enough, then I have done my job.
Look at the positives. Rambling capabilities circumvent common obstacles like writer's block. Vibes-based writing lacking meaningful conclusions leaves negative space to fill in. Both confident and ambiguous writing have their audiences, times, and places.
I will say that work, intimate relationships, and other mission critical settings call for more confident language. The honesty to say "I don't know" when justified is valuable, but too much ambiguity or filler can sour trust between partners. As someone that enjoys a good "maybe", saving less confident utterances more for playful, personal endeavors sounds like a good idea.
Commitment difficulty lowers as you practice commitment. It takes time to build muscle. A year of consistent writing after little to no writing is much improvement per se. Engage feedback loops during that time to get you further. Who knows how far your writing could improve should you take it more seriously?
