Rubina’s Bojra is going on a break for the rest of 2023, starting 22nd Nov. I’ll be using this time to upgrade my 2024 content. New essays will be available from Jan 2024.
In one of my previous essays, I shared why I believe we should keep logic, ego and rationality out of our first draft.
Now I have the answer as to how to do that.
The answer is quite simple but a hard one to digest for many.
It's not about you.
Whatever writing project you take up, it is not about you. It is not about how it will be received. It is not about if it'll bring you an audience. It is not about if you are a fantastic writer or not. It is not about whether it'll make money or not.
These are all worries of our human mind, something our creative mind is not interested in.
It is about the writing itself.
Our creative mind, our creative spirit, just wants to write. It wants to tell the story that's brewing inside it. And is using us humans to bring into being.
So, if you want to get your first draft done without much fuss, let your creative mind run while using your human self to give it direction. Not the other way around.
