“Used correctly, boredom can help you demolish your writer’s block, strike upon new ideas, and produce prose to be proud of.” -Writers Treasure
“It is the fear of boredom, and the ease of distraction from boredom – enabled by the internet and smartphones – that is dangerous to writing. Little wonder Kingsley Amis said ‘the art of writing is the art of applying the seat of the pants to the seat of the chair.’ We have to be willing, as writers, to embrace boredom and resist that desire to flee its embrace.” -Professor Wu on Nothing in the Rulebook.
Writers, we choose a life of exploration when we choose the writers life. There’s no one way to explore, but it is for sure that boredom is a wise path to take.
Give yourself permission to slow down.
