Growth

I am always surprised at the room there is for growth.

I usually find ways to circumvent what I am not good at, often without even realizing I'm doing it.

For example, before spell check, if I couldn't spell a word, I would usually just use another word. If I'm not sure how to write about something? I simply write about something else!

It's kind of a lazy man's approach to things, but I don't even realize I'm doing it most of the time. It has just become a habit. One that makes me look like I know more than I do, because I avoid those things I am uncomfortable with, or unfamiliar with.

Imagination is a wonderful thing, but sometimes it is important to go beyond that and actually put a little work into what I'm doing. A little extra thought, a little more research, a request for help, it all fleshes out my life as well as my writing.
