How hard is it to write about nothing? It may seem like a simple task, but the more you write, the more difficult it becomes. Writing about nothing is far different than not writing at all, as you end up with a significant number of words on the page. But having words on the page does not necessarily mean you have written about nothing. There must be no subject, no underlying intent, and no audience. Defining these rules, in and of itself, is an afront to the idea of writing about nothing though. How can I write about nothingness when I have clearly outlined rules to guide writers through this task. And in writing this article, am I not anticipating an audience will read it? No, I am not. I am writing this purely for myself. Testing my ability to write enough words without truly having any content. All of the words in this article will make sense. There will be no gibberish, no incomplete sentences, and no filler. Everything will remain on topic and relevant. Relevant to what? Well, relevant to nothing. It is at this point that I am beginning to struggle to find the right words to continue the article. But then I must ask myself, “What are the right words?”. If there is no purpose to the article, if I’m writing about nothing, there cannot be any “right” words. Every word must be as insignificant as the next, while still remaining connected to the article in its own unique way. If every word is equally insignificant, then all of the words can work together in harmony, to produce nothing. They all come together to form one meaningless article, all written about nothing. This has been an interesting exercise to experiment with, and I’m satisfied with the final result. Many other articles on this page have meaning or purpose, but this one remains, in the end, about nothing.
