Writing into uninhabited territory of the mind provides insights, unleashes creativity, and enables problem solving. It may feel uncomfortable at first but anxiety dissolves as one word moves into another and sentences propel the forward progress of ideas.
Do you recall a time in your life where you had a choice of turning right or left?
Did the path you moved on stop at a place with too many choices in all directions?
Did you choose to say Yes or No?
Did you make the easy decision when a more challenging solution would have provided more growth?
How do you feel about your choice-making abilities? When you scan your life choices,which decision points come to mind?
Make a list of five perplexities and write about what your life would reveal today if you had made another choice.
Do not judge or flavor the writing with right or wrong. Just detail the different scenario and the person you might view today.
Follow images that feel confusing or ambiguous. Expand upon troubling thoughts as you dwell in the "terror-itory." Permit distaste or disaster to percolate into new vistas. They will reveal areas you need to write through to provide clarity for future decisions.
After your initial freewriting, set your ego aside. Choose one of your perplexities. Create a name and assume a persona with different eyes. Dig into this alternate psyche and see which road he or she might choose.
You may discover a character for a story.
Feel the freedom as your writing meanders beyond the terror-itory.
