On my way to my shadows

So here I am. Committed to write 300 words every single day. But why? Is it because @gapingvoid is one of the initiators? I do like his drawings, especially the ones where ’The blue monster’ expresses the wisdom of Hugh. Or is it because of @MartijnLinssen who joined almost instantly? Our paths crossed each other again on Twitter. I enjoy his blog and his outspoken perspective on life in general. I have to admit they both influence me in a positive way, but not to the extend that I follow them in everything they do.I am also not doing it because I’m a professional writer or aspiring to be one. I only write on my blog when I’m really inspired and the words flow naturally from my mind onto the screen. But I can assure you that it’s not every day that I bask in true enlightenment.

I have no financial benefit from joining this @300words initiative. In the perspective of ‘time is money’ I’m actually paying to write at least 300 words-a-day.
I’m even risking my life to get my first 300 words out there as I am driving and typing simultaneously. So, it could be my last 300 words.

The real reason I committed to this initiative is because it’s fun and it will learn me so much more about myself. What will I write about when I’m not inspired? Will I have the guts to share my personal frustrations which tend to be more dominant when I am not inspired. I do have a real dark side as any of you, but I have trained myself not to focus too much on it. But lately I’m more then ever ready to investigate this part of me with a playful intention and shine some light on my dark side. My shadows.
