Hey you!
During my spotty relationship with public school, I had a love/hate relationship with learning new things. While I loved when I picked up things quickly, I hated struggling through a difficult topic.
In adulthood, I’ve learned to embrace the struggle.
Recently, I’ve put aside time to learn about flash fiction. I’ve been focusing on the learning process instead of stressing myself out about getting better as quickly as possible.
This week, take time to learn something new.
For example, the next thing on my curriculum is learning how to write a TV show pilot (mostly through YouTube, but hey--who doesn’t learn everything through YouTube nowadays?)
