Writing is nothing more than thinking.

And most people are lazy thinkers. Most people have some idea about what “great” writing is supposed to look like because they were taught at school what “great” writing was. Then they try to copy the style of these “great” writers and also think of all the people who will be impressed by their “great” writing.

But teachers forgot to mention thinking.

The best kind of thinking emerges organically without conscious control. Thoughts collect energy and flash themselves to you throughout the day and night. Some of these mental collections are more interesting to you than others. Most people ignore these constant flashings because they are too busy or too stressed out or too self-critical.
These flashes are what I pay attention to when I write and I wait until my mind collects them before I begin. The more you notice and collect these mind flashes, the easier this process becomes.

The real trick, however, involves becoming free enough to have time to collect and share these mind flashes.

Also, you have to feel that your mind flashes are worthy enough to be documented. People have been made to feel that they are not important enough to have their mind flashes documented. No one is better than anyone else. We are all humans. We all have a mind.

Most jobs are detrimental to writing.

I've spent my entire adult working life trying to escape from meaningless jobs so that I could have time and space to think. I have always had a very rich imagination that refuses to be quiet. The things that were constantly getting in the way were jobs.

So financial freedom is what is needed before you can start really becoming good at thinking. But you can’t take your free time for granted once you get it. Once you become free and good at thinking, you might decide to share these collections of mental flashes in the form of writing.

But you also might find yourself worrying about losing the money that made you free enough to think clearly and write.

At this point you might want to join Steemit where you can turn writing and social energy into money.

That’s what I did.
