Creating the mundane.

Part of what enables me to even do this writing on a regular basis is my ability to be okay with writing what amounts to be very common, generally unimaginative nonsense most of the time. Even though my quantity is not particularly prolific, I still have taught myself to accept a very basic writing level. It was once put to me by a writer friend of mine - "You have to learn to be okay with writing crap." The context of his statement referred to the somewhat different situation of creating a draft that was intended to later be polished but I think it definitely still applies to what I am doing here. Of the many beneficial reasons that I do this, I essentially write to flex my writing muscle. And even though I would prefer to be a better writer I have basically been training to write at this "basically unimaginative" level just by doing it so much... in a way, I have not only raised the floor level of my capability, I have also brought the ceiling of my potential down... which is kind of sad/annoying... yet... I am still okay with it. As I have undertaken the habit of script writing I have the precedent to continue this level of acceptance in my script generating. At first, I would rather be regularly and consistently writing as the biggest challenge comes in the form of establishing the habit in the first place. I should be careful, however, to diligently increase the level of my effort(and by extension, the level of my self-critical acceptance) to further stretch my skill and improve the upward climb in my quest to become a master of my craft. Mastery can never be obtained incidentally, after all.
