I bet you
know the feeling when you enjoy everything that surrounds you: morning coffee
(even if it’s without milk), your old but dear laptop (even when it doesn’t
want to collaborate) and your neighbor’s golden retriever Bumblebee (even if it
sometimes wakes you up in the middle of the night). So, that’s the feeling I
have now and that inspires me to write. Thus, I’ve decided to make an
after-birthday blog post, analyze my previous year and think what I should or
shouldn’t do.
First of
all, I clearly decided to avoid a few things: leaving for the airport without
plane tickets, following all tips from LifeHack.org and adding too much baking
soda to the pizza dough. But these are little things. The most incredible
discovery I made last year is free
writing. Seriously, it’s one of the best things I’ve learned during my
writing career. I’m sure that every writer eventually faces that unfortunate
block and I’m not an exception. In fact, it was a real problem for me to
overcome and I tried a lot of things: changing environment, listening to music
or drawing mind maps. But there were times when even those pills didn’t work. Finally,
I came across free writing and understood that when you have a writer’s block and
nothing works out, you just write continuously for a certain period of time
about anything that comes to your mind. And it fades away. And then even your Transformers-loving
neighbor’s dog can distract you from the creative process.
Now, when I
am surrounded by people I love, when I do what I really like and know how to
overcome the obstacles and enjoy every bit of my life, I can surely say that I
feel happy and delighted. That’s what the life must be for me. So, it means
that I’m doing great J
