As a person who has written a good amount of fiction (even if very, very few of you have ever read any of it), you’re always thinking about how the story is going to continue from where you are. How the characters are going to change and grow. What comes next.

Writing purposefully about my life, as it happens, doesn’t make me immune from thinking about this project in similar terms.

How am I going to live in different patterns if I can’t keep myself from writing about my life in different patterns?

Once again, I find myself discussing my habits without saying that I think they’re correct or good. Seeing them is the first step towards any sort of change, though.
