Exposed

The assignments from writing class are deceptively complex. I thought they'd be autobiographical fluff pieces designed to get the students to get comfortable with structure but instead they get down deep into stuff I don't necessarily want to talk about because it's not what I choose to let anybody know about me. It makes me feel uneasy having to discuss openly in a class full of strangers what I don't like about my name, etc.

Maybe that's by design. Maybe that's what enables a writer/performer to grow fearless. Maybe that's my problem; I am not fearless and that's what has kept me from certain projects like getting back on a stage. So maybe I now have to see who that guy is in the mirror and what he may be capable of. Maybe this is the best $400 I've spent thus far on this career.

Maybe there's more to this than I give it credit for...

THE ACRONYM for FEAR is
F=FALSE
E=EVIDENCE
A=APPEARING
R= REAL

knowing your REAL self through introspection in this meadium of writing is a GOOD tool to dispel that evidence.. GO DUDE!!!
