create

I have some ideas about the 57 year old man staring in the corner (it's a corner, not just a wall). None are just right. I'm getting way too into this exercise. An older short story of mine came to mind this afternoon. I put it down because I couldn't make it sound like anything better than whiny drama. One of my biggest weaknesses is my fear of sounding too much like this or that. Learning to get excited again and throw away logic for my first draft--that's a feeling I miss. Ego makes you inhibited, because you never want to look foolish. I feel more ready to write now.
