Day 17 - Another fluff piece because I'm tired
What would you do if you knew you wouldn't fail?
I suppose I would pursue my writing with an enthusiasm closer to reckless abandon; I would submit manuscripts to publishers, enter contests, and allow more people to read my writing (and by "my writing" I don't mean this blog, but instead things like my poetry and my children's book). I get bogged down (read: procrastinate) by doing research about just how to do these things and never actually do them.
I would take initiative with friends and make more phone calls. I tend to communicate with people less and spend less time with friends than I'd like because I'm always afraid to call or ask. For me, there's vulnerability in dialing the phone. It's too personal, too risky. I get stuck in a trap of negative self-talk, believing that if someone really wanted to spend time with me, they'd have taken the initiative already.
I would pray more fervently. I realized just this morning that there are things for which I don't pray diligently or with conviction because I am afraid of how the Lord will ask me to get involved.
As grateful as I am for these computer-generated writing prompts, I still want more from this. I still don't think what I'm writing is engaging. Comments or suggestions are appreciated!
