1) Be honest.

2) Don’t edit.

3) Be open.

4) See the positive.

5) Don’t discount the small.

6) Don’t overestimate the big.

7) Fine-tune my voice.

8) Never miss a day (see “G is for Gratitude” for the reason why this began on 1/2/12).

9) Dig deep.

10) Show emotion.

Some of these are things that writers, in my opinion, should do as writers. Others are things that I should do as a human being who finds it easy to be closed off rather than open. Cheers to writing, and to self-discovery.
