Memorable Quote:

“Imagination if irrepressible.”

He called me out in this one, talking about people who jump into the story, line one, with no planning. Correlated it to everything else in our lives that requires warmups and practice and strategies and made the musician, artist, and ex-athlete in me side-eye the hell out of the writer part that’s put her head in the sand. 

Amazing how acceptable practice is when it’s crazy singing exercises because the German ü is so foreign to native English or running suicides was an unfortunate necessary evil because soccer is a highly agile sport that requires quick turns on your toes or breaking down a bat to different curves and strokes is second nature to make it easier when painting onto a nail, but translate that to writing? In this economy?

Called myself out today and it’s only Day 2. Seven weeks and four days left.

Love his personality. And I laughed when he finally said what the exercise was. Oh man, that is absolutely not what I was expecting and I’m laughing even more to realize how hard it actually was. I missed the throw-away goal he offered by 14! Hilarious.

I don’t know if anyone is joining with me for this, but let me know how you did!
