The Write Way

I’ve started to write again, not just here on the blog, but an old co-worker/mentor/friend tapped me to ghostwrite the foreword for a book he’s working on. It feels good to get the juices flowing again, as it had been some time.

Left to my own devices, I’m not always sure what to write about, but when given “a beat” so to speak, it helps. By beat, I mean it’s like a rapper having something to go off of, as opposed to rhyming a capella. That’s something I do miss about school, was the external motivation it gave me to write, and typically do my best work. Intrinsic motivation can be hard to come by, for whatever reason.

I applied for a writing job, which would have paid considerably more than Whole Foods, enough to make the commute to the financial district worthwhile. Besides, in would have put me in a better light to shine; to make use of what others told me is my greatest strength. I’ve pretty much capped out as a cashier at the Register. I done learned all of the produce codes, I can. What I’m doing at work, isn’t exactly making a difference in anyone’s life, and isn’t that what we are all most ideally put here to do?
