Chronicle: Formula for Writing Every day
It took me ten years before it became a pleasure
Write when you are inspired and write when you are not. A simple statement to make. After this, many different ones came like: be relevant, be sincere, write every day, evaluate your audience, be emotional, review topics, make them identify themselves with what you write.
Well, I identify myself with those who do not say these things. That is, with almost anyone. It is an illusion to be relevant in every text. Write about why you like it. Write down why you feel like it. Certainly, these texts will be better. However, there is also the professional side of the whole thing. For those who live from writing, it is necessary to write.
I started writing because I obliged myself to. I started communication college to advertise. Within some months I got an internship in journalism. It became an addiction. I switched to journalism. I started to write every day. It was my job to describe events. Fetch data. Analyse speeches. Provide information. Perhaps at that time I did not have a real sense of the extent of that responsibility. On second thought, in my early twenties, it was difficult to have that awareness. However, I did and did it for a long time.
Duty leads to an obligation. And this, unfortunately, leads to a lack of creativity. Everything became semi-automatic. The covers had a simpler rule. It was like a cake recipe. From those I knew the measure of each ingredient by heart. That way, in the end, the taste was always the same. I even got sick of the taste. I traded the solid foundation for an adventure away from home. Now, I have new stories. Now, I make my own recipes. Now, I want to write every day.
