Comments on: What Is Your Writing Dream?—An Exercise http://procrastinatingwritersblog.com/2010/01/what-is-your-writing-dream-an-exercise/ Guidance for writers who struggle to get started Wed, 01 Feb 2012 06:55:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Rouillie Wilkerson http://procrastinatingwritersblog.com/2010/01/what-is-your-writing-dream-an-exercise/comment-page-1/#comment-3146 Rouillie Wilkerson Tue, 04 Jan 2011 22:31:11 +0000 http://procrastinatingwritersblog.com/?p=1139#comment-3146 I actually do this type of list making fairly often, but haven't in a while. Your article served as a gentle reminder that I needed to bring my self-evaluation current. This exercise is a good way to bring to light anything that one has buried under a myriad of other issues and left to fall into neglect. It’s also a great way to confirm ones progress thus giving one “permission,” to move forward. Thanks again, this was a worthwhile, even (re)enlightening exercise.

The writing exercise you mentioned helps to get from point A to point Z. However, it can be helpful only to some people. Others have achieved (or failed) even without taking such pains. It really depends on the individual's priorities. What floats my boat, for example, can easily sink your boat. There are writers who need such exercises to overcome "writer's block" or "analysis paralysis." And yet, there are other writers who do just fine and get on with the business of writing. Kindly keep up the great work you are doing. Your readers depend on your insights. Hey Jennifer:

Luckily, I don't have too many fears about writing to hold me back, but I still have doubts sometimes. This is a good idea.
