In terms of writing practice, what type of gerbil are you?
My answer: Avoiding the wheel
In my writing practice I have been avoiding the wheel. For several years I have had an idea that I want to pursue through writing but I have been afraid to try or, more accurately, afraid to fail. But this book of exercises is my effort to conquer the fear or perhaps embrace the fear. If I continue to avoid the process of writing, I will never improve (or figure out if I have any skill in the first place) and will have never given myself the opportunity to fail. So I am done avoiding, done making excuses and will try to write something daily. Something more than my to-do list or grocery list, that is!
