Today I read a very inspiring article on WA.

The blog post link is down below. Click it and take a look if you're intrigued.

==> Why don't more people blog on WA?

This blog post listed an array of problems people face when they want to write something on WA but never start. Not only just that, but also the author provides a series of solutions to help us get through these problems.

I got inspired after reading because I happened to be one of those who are facing this kind of writing problems. In fact, I want to blog on WA every day, and if I do put it into practice, I should by now have nearly 30 posts (I only have 4 if including this post).

So what stopped me every time?

The problems I face, which are also mentioned in the article aforementioned, are that I always worry about either my writing skills are not good enough or people on WA won't appreciate what I wrote.

I think this can be some kind of "perfectionist" issue. I always want to generate the BEST, which makes me keep refining before really publishing. Consequently, I never really made it to show people what I have done because I got exhausted correting the teeny-tiny stuffs.

If some of you reading this post have the same experience, you're lucky today!!!

According to the blog post I mentioned above,

to get through these "mental obstacles", the only way cannot be simpler.

Just write.

Only by writing and publishing for countless times can one becomes better to an incredible extent. Experience brings out the pathway, and this is how we get experience. It's pretty imaginable that sometimes we want to finish one job once and for all and never look back. However, chances are this exact motive may stops us from finishing at all.

We must reach the balance.

We can't neither stay at the refining phase forever just for producing the impeccable outcomes nor keep generating the flawful ones without any check. Both of these extreme circumstances won't take us far along the journey to success.

So how do we conquer this? How do we obtain experience that indeed benefits us? How do we write not only what we want but also what fulfill the proper standards?

Just give it a go.
