“Start telling the stories only you can tell There’ll always be better writers than you. There’ll always be smarter writers than you. There will always be people who are much better at doing this or doing that – but you are the only you.”

Neil Gaiman

This year, I’m working to build a writing habit to get out of a 14-year writing block. I’m working on what stories I can tell, and building the habit of putting thoughts on virtual paper, and putting them out into the world.

So far, it’s going alright. While I might not always be publishing here on the website, or through other media, I’m chipping away getting words out of my head and down in writing, in whatever form, and building that writing habit.

“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your identity. This is why habits are crucial. They cast repeated votes for being a type of person.”

James Clear

For example, the type of person who writes things and publishes them on the internet for other people to read.
