Today’s prompt: Where is trust asking to be rebuilt, extended, or reclaimed in your life?
Every now and again, the idea of writing a book pops into my head. The impetus for these latest string of daily posts is that very prospect. Trouble is, I don’t know what I’d write about, despite having a few ideas, because I don’t know that what I want to tell warrants the effort.
In this setting, a personal blog, I’m free to write pretty much anything I want to. My readership remains very small, which I’m trying to embrace by committing to simply posting something every day, no matter it’s quantity or quality. Ideally, a larger idea will be triggered, prompting me to write in a more formalized way.
I need to trust that what I’m saying or wanting to say is valuable, and that my writing is good enough. I want to believe enough in what I write that I can quote myself on Instagram, with as much gravitas as I would someone else. Further, I have to trust that I’ll be able to manage all the various types of feedback I may receive. Simply put, I need to trust myself enough to self-promote; this is a skill I need in more areas of my life than just writing.
