For the past three weeks I have been taking an online creative writing class. Online classes represent a stretch in my life experience. It has been fun to learn things and challenging to unlearn old (and poor) writing habits.
Today's lesson stumps me. Selecting the best word and turn of phrase was our topic today. And I am stuck! Writing this blog makes me re-examine every word I choose. ACK! Is there a better word? That was too cliche'. How can I not over write? How can avoid really bad writing?
I don't think I am going to be able to write anymore because I am now too self-conscious.
Sigh.
Gotta go practice with my homework.
