Week 1 Example: How to Look at Your Own Work
Back to Topic
See Exercise
Before:
First thing in the morning all I have to do is get up and write my page. I tell myself this every morning and yet I can't seem to ever follow through. I reassure myself I will tomorrow and I'm building up to it. Am I lacking the will or am I unable to do it at all? Instead of doing what I need to do or want to do I end up wandering into the kitchen, getting some coffee and then I’m off and running through my day.

Does the above look or feel like your writing?

Want to bring things more to life?
-
Want to get away from exercises like this and get into telling a story?
Want to hear a prompt like “First thing in the morning...” and end up with something that isn’t about you, but is about a story you want to tell?
It all has to do with looking at your work.
