Ideas for New Writing Projects

This is sort of an exploratory, thinking-out-loud post. I haven't really had a writing project since doing the [SFPC blog][1] almost two years ago. I moved to NYC to write more, but I've spent most of my time here freelancing, having panic attacks about how I'm going to afford to live here, and just kind of living, trying to enjoy my time here.

I'm moving away soon, and I'll have more time to write. In this post I'll ruminate on what I might write about, and how.

The Motivation to Write
The Motivation to Write

I've always wanted to produce more writing than I do.

Since I can remember it's been a struggle to finish just about anything(writing my Amazon book was like pulling teeth every day, for about two years) and I'm wondering if there are ways to live that are more conducive to writing.

My hypothesis is that there are certain conditions that are favorable to "the writer's life". It's not so radical, I know, but that's the premise of this post.

I threw together a list of five things that usually get me writing again.

Getting Back to Writing
Getting Back to Writing

It's been a year since my last post. A crazy and intense year of living in New York city.

The truth is that I've always wanted to be a writer. The problem has always been my belief that there's no way that I could ever make a living as one.

This belief is buttressed by these two questions: 

* Who would pay me?
* What would I write about?

I don't have complete answers to those questions, but I don't feel like I need them to pursue writing as a career and a lifestyle.
