The second day of writing is difficult.

Actually every day is hard.

I’m not making it easier by using the iPad to write this post.

Instead of complaining, I tell myself it’s a chance to try something new. It’s a chance to use tools I don’t usually use.

I’m going out of my comfort zone.

I’ve tried it before. It’s, for the most part, not too bad when I settle down and write.

But, at times, it is slow. Things lag when I want to move fast. My desktop or notebook is much more suited to writing.

Still, I write since my desktop would take time to load up. And my notebook is at work.

Writing for the sake of writing would eventually wear me down. A topic in hand is always crucial.

So I’d better hand some topics ready for me to go.

I wasn’t a fan of process writing: brainstorm, outline, draft, revise, edit, re-write (I really hated this) and repeat the last three steps until the final draft.

But for the long haul, I have to follow a process.

Then, of course, I have to work on my ability to tell a good story. Find my voice. Glean what I can get from the experts in the area I’m interested.

I’ve been writing for sometime. But I feel like a beginner.

Again, small steps.

Rebuild on the things I’ve learned. Maximize what I can do. Learn the mistakes. Come back again for another round.

It will make for an exciting journey.
