Problem with shift key

< Back to Journal entries

I have a problem with the shift key. The right shift is not clicking properly, probably because something has gotten below the button. Some dust, maybe. I don’t know.

I’m writing today to get into habit of writing every day. This is easy, at first—-I have started this habit many times. But after only a few days, I forget about this habit, only to remember a week later that I was supposed to write. And I’m pretty sure this habit will not last. I will write today, and tomorrow I won’t.

But why write every day, anyway? It’s go get comfortable in writing in english. I need to get comfortable enough to write with pleasure, not with angst. Some writers say that writing will always be hard, and I believe them, but I hope it will feel more natural than right now.

Writing every day has also other benefits. For example, when I write few paragraphs just for myself, it will be easier to write something that I have to write: a report, essay, whatever. It will be easier because i’m already in the flow. It takes time to get into the flow, to switch from everyday mindset to writing mindset, to forget my tasks and problems, and to remember the creativity that is inside.

… this shift key is bothering me. I want to use it, but it’s not responding.
