Shooting yourself in the foot
Creatively and metaphorically speaking, of course
Today, write about a way in which you—either once upon a time or currently and continually— engage in some kind of creative self-sabotage. Maybe you are masterful at excuses, or somehow seem to always have drama in your life just when you’re about to turn a creative corner, maybe you just are not great at enforcing boundaries so your writing time is regularly taken over by your loved ones or your boss, or maybe you’re just really bullshitting yourself about how much you’re actually writing.
Be gentle with yourself but also tell yourself the absolute fucking truth. Let’s do this.
