I have tried many times to start a blog. I usually manage to eek out one or two articles before getting utterly stuck.

I have lots of things I want to write about but I feel completely anxious about putting my ideas out there, even got relatively simple, straightforward things.

How do you push through the anxiety and actually put things out there?

Use an LLM to get you started.

Lay out your main topic and your initial thoughts. Let it do the anxiety-inducing part.

You just need a starting ground.

Artists who fear the “blank canvas” use a similar strategy - make large, loose brush strokes and create from chaos.
