Welcome To My Reality~

February Prompt #6

6. Think about some of the activities here on Writing.com that you don't participate in. What stops you from participating in them?

I try to be active and involved on WDC as much as I can be. However there are certain things that I have not tried, writing short stories and product reviews are a couple of the things I have not tried. I think on the product review, it is just because I don't really think I have enough knowledge to do one yet. I need to learn about it more.

The writing short stories, I struggle with only because it is not what I normally do..I write poems, and I really need to broaden my genre and styles of writing so that I can grow more.

Maybe I need to learn to try new things...even when I am unsure of them, try. Because I will never know if I do not try right?!

That is something I need to learn...that it is okay for me to try new things, try to grow and expand my knowledge because if I do not, I will never grow or further myself not only as a writer, but as a person as well. New things can be scary and that will put us off, stirring up feelings of fear of failing, so we never try. When you have those feelings it is hard to push yourself past them and try things.

Maybe part of my Give It 100 one day should be to make a goal to try out a activity or contest on here that is something new for me to try out. If I try it out, then it can never be a fail right! Because at least I tried! The whole point is to work on a better me, breaking free from what I am used to doing, and trying new things and doing things for myself....hmmm...never know..maybe what I am scared of trying will open up a whole new thing for me in my writing...and life!

So maybe by doing this Welcome To My Reality blog/challenge..I will grow even more!
