Good News: Refreshing by Writing
I found myself today with no specific responsibilities. What would I do with such time? One thing I did was have a long nap but I wanted this opportunity to be more than that. So I did some writing.
I really do not know why I do not schedule more time for writing. I get such a boost from writing that I end up being more productive in my other responsibilities. But writing time is often the first thing I cut.
What did I write today?
One of the things that I wrote was the script for the Second World War podcast. You may not know this, but I host a podcast on the Second World War. This is something I have always been interested in and I enjoy going through the events of this epic era roughly chronologically. You find the podcast here or through your favourite podcast provider.
The other writing I did was for a book I am working on with the tentative title of Why I Am Not an Atheist. The purpose of this book is not to try and convince other people that they must believe in God. Rather it is a look at my experience and the reasons why I can never return to atheism. I find this kind of writing both intellectually and spiritually stimulating.
I have some other projects on the go as well. It is always easier to start a project than to finish it. But it feels good to have gotten this much work done.
Writing might feel like work for some but it is refreshing for me.
