Practice writing fiction.

In my creative practice, I enjoy writing fiction. The things a character says, or does, bubble up from the subconscious.

Then when I read what I wrote, I’m shocked. Surprised, even. Because I gain a little more perspective on the character, and ultimately myself.

The fictional characters become a reflection, that if we are being open and honest, can sometimes teach us much more than any non-fiction character ever could.

There’s something magical about that space that exists between us and fictional narrative. For a brief moment, our inner world becomes objective. And with enough courage and coffee, we can see ourselves much more clearly. #fiction #creativity
