Feeling Powerful
There's a serious topic I'd like to discuss, but I'm feeling rather squeamish about it. Fear is a writer's constant companion. How will my words be received? What will be the consequences of what I write? So, I'm going to jack myself up by thinking about automatic doors. Whenever I come to an automatic door that slides open sideways, I wave my hands in a flourish, as though I'm commanding the doors to open for me. Think of Moses parting the Red Sea and you'll have it. This simple small action makes me feel very powerful.
