I’m settling into writing today’s MoaT and have no idea what I’m going to write about.

This is not an inspiring first line. But there’s a point, or at least I’ll attempt to make one.

On good days, I carve out about 20-25mins of uninterrupted MoaT writing time. During that time, I can stare into space, curse my lack of talent, whatever it might be, provided it’s not flat earth YouTube rabbit holes. For that 20-25mins, I’m in non-negotiable service of the MoaT.

Which really is how all creativity should look. It’s not about the result, not really anyway, but rather sitting down and actually giving a rat’s ass. It’s about intention.

In a world of omni-distraction and, right now, a global freaking pandemic, there’s every excuse not to do a thing, and by choosing to do said thing, it’s a victory against the amorphous hoard.
