You guys ever find yourself procrastinating ad infinitum despite having all the time in the world to write? I don't currently have a real job and sit in front of my computer for hours on end, and yet the only thing I've recently been writing is in a typing test website.

Of course the ostensible goal of this is to increase my productivity through a short term time investment in my actual ability to put words on a screen, but really it's just been another way of putting off actually writing.

Fear of failure or something else. Perhaps psychic pressure. I really do think that phrase accurately describes much of what I feel. Too much pressure to write perfectly. Maybe that's it actually!

Maybe the fact that so many people in my life have actually gone out of there way to tell me that I'm very good at writing is the exact reason I can't bring myself to write.

Only one answer than huh? To disregard their opinions totally, and to lower my own expectations of my quality of work to abyssal levels.

I'm a genius, and you guessed it I just wrote this shitty blogpost to practice my typing.
