Try a few what ifs . . .
What if you try writing out of your comfort zone? If you only feel comfortable with prose, write ten lines of a poem. Relax and let yourself emote.
What if you sent out your work to three markets? Take a breath, polish a piece and send at least to one publication or online site you have never considered.
What if you start a Blog? Go to blogspot.com and create your site and write your first entry.
What if you wrote about an unpleasant experience you've avoided? Write for fifteen minutes and save it on your computer or in a drawer for retrieval in the future.
What if you wrote about the monsters that frighten you when you write?
What if you start in the middle of an idea and write to the beginning or ending?
What if you smile and applaud yourself for writing?
Start your list and let writing lead you into new territory beyond the fear and into the fierce.
