I’m a writer, podcast producer, designer, and illustrator. I have a degree in psychology and a master’s in fine arts. I’ve had my work featured in the New York Times, the Atlantic, and the Washington Post. I currently reside in New York with my wife and son.
Ive written extensively about self awareness on my blog, but now that Ive created my own site, I would like to introduce myself to all of you. I’m Damon Whitaker, a self-aware writer.
I’ve just started my own blog, which is an outlet for myself in the online world to express myself and my experiences. My blog features content about the self-awareness topics I write about. I want to be a writer, and my blog is my outlet to share my self-awareness and the research I’ve done in the process. I’m working on some new projects in the future, but I’m excited to talk to people about my new blog and the topics I write about.
As I said in the intro, Im Damon Whitaker. Ive been writing for a long time and I’ve had a lot of fun doing so, but I’m also very aware of how I’ve been perceived. I have friends who say I’m a fraud or a weirdo and that Im full of shit. I don’t believe that, and I don’t care. I have a lot of fun writing, and I don’t regret it at all.
Damon Whitaker has been writing for a LONG time. If you want to get a sense of just how long, you can check out the archives on my website here. My first blog was called “The Damned”. I worked up a new one called “Damon Whitaker’s Blog” and then “Damon Whitaker’s Blog 2”. I even made a new one called “This Blog”.
How do you actually put the pieces together? When you start writing, you usually see the same thing happening if you start out with a different thought process. I feel like I’m trying to teach you some techniques, but it feels so slow and so boring.
It’s like you’re doing a puzzle and you know when you’re done but you want to keep getting more and more lost in the jumble of all the pieces. In the same way, you don’t want to just sit down and start writing but you have to force yourself to get it moving. Also, you have to be willing to let go of your own personal process.
I know that when you have a lot of questions, and it’s like “What’s the point of this?”, its not just like youre a piece of shit. Its like youre trying to show how to solve a problem. You may have to wait a couple of hours for the rest of the time, but its not like youre not gonna get it done.
The idea is that it takes a lot of effort to write down your thoughts and ideas. That’s why I write. I take notes on things in my mind that I want to go into a piece, but I’m not just throwing those thoughts in a document. I’m trying to make my thoughts and ideas visible. I think that is a more organic way to start writing than just throwing the words down on paper.
Writing down your thoughts and ideas is the best way to make them visible, but thatsnt always practical. Sometimes you have to wait a couple of hours for the rest of the time, but its not like youre not gonna get it done. If the idea is to write down your ideas for a piece, then you shouldn’t be asking for anything. But if the idea is to get a piece written down, then you might want to ask for help.
