The Beauty of Writing

The hardest part about writing is deciding what to write about.  A writer with an active and creative mind will never be without ideas but sometimes even the most active and creative mind runs out of things to write about.  I have run into this situation countless times and I have found that the best solution (which every writer knows) is to keep writing.  This has always seemed fairly vague to me.  If I am supposed to keep writing even though I have nothing to write about, what am supposed to write about?  Looks to me a like a catch 22 at it’s finest.  When this situation occurs I generally try to write about the first thing that comes to mind.  If my mind is blank, I write about the first thing I see.  It does not matter what that thing is, just that I write about it.  I force at least one hundred words out before I stop.  Take this blog post.  I’ve already hit 308 words and I’ve written about absolutely nothing.  That is the true beauty of writing.
