What do we fear? How honest are we with ourselves in evaluating our lives, be it as a hobbyist, professional, parent, or any other part of our being? That is the thought I took away from today’s installment of OctPoWriMo. The emphasis is on our writing – go figure, right – for this prompt. But as I said above, it can apply to any piece of our lives.
The prompt suggestions are in the post; I decided to write a Shadorma using the three suggested words rather than the Blitz.
Honesty,
Rarely left to chance.
We fear truth,
Raw reviews.
We feel we are too exposed-
So we just hold back
I have to say I’m really enjoying these challenging daily prompts, many of which push me out of my comfort zone and have gotten me to explore new writing styles. I didn’t really think I’d stay with the 31-day challenge but now that I’m into it, I’m pretty certain I’ll make it through to the end.
Potholes in the Road of Life 
Fear of truth, fear of rejection… yep. So true.

Marvelous Shadorma, Greg. I find I am much freer to “expose” myself–be authentic and real, no holds barred–with strangers; perhaps that’s why I FEAR close connections…. I write just about anything on my blogs, as I can delete them as I please; but once I enter into a friendship–if I reveal too much, the friendship’s in danger of me bailing.

Another part of the fallen human condition I think J. And you can overcome that with God’s help if you desire to. But you do a fantastic job of opening up in your writing I will definitely say! 🙂

I suspect that’s why He provided the writing gift–so I could “start somewhere” 🙂
