Don’t Worry About Being Original

I’ve been wrestling lately with what to write about.  I guess I’ve had “blogger’s block” as well as fatigue from all the pol­i­tics and cur­rent events that have been hap­pen­ing.  So, as a pause from nor­mal blog­ging, here’s a lit­tle quote from one of my favorite authors:

Even in lit­er­a­ture and art, no man who both­ers about orig­i­nal­ity will ever be orig­i­nal: whereas if you sim­ply try to tell the truth (with­out car­ing twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become orig­i­nal with­out ever hav­ing noticed it.

– C. S. Lewis

So when you’re blog­ging, don’t worry about whether or not you’re being orig­i­nal.  Just blog what you think.  Just sit down with your favorite blog­ging pro­gram and write.  It’ll even­tu­ally come to you.  Happy blogging!
