For Tuesday's POF writing:

There are two pages of reading, and then this assignment:

Set Your Timer:
There may be more to creative visualization, which Shakti Gawain
writes about in her book by that name, than we know.

Think about what you wish for, and imagine how you'd like your life
to be in six months, a year, five years from now. Your age doesn't
matter here, especially if you think that you should already have
realized your dream or that you're too young to see your dream come
true for a good many years. Focus on the dream itself. Envision
your future as you'd like to live it. Have you secretly wanted to
transform a guest room or the corner of your garage into a writing
studio? Write about that, down to the type of flooring it will have
and the type of chair you'll sit on.

Now set your time for fifteen minutes and write down your ideal
scenario. Be specific: How will you spend your days? Do you see
yourself writing full-time? What will you write -- stories, articles,
essays, poems, novels? Don't skimp on details. Fate may just need
to know the color of the walls or the make of the car you'll drive or
the design of the desk where you'll sit if it's going to fulfill your dreams.

It's important to see yourself in the sort of life you want. If you
can't see yourself as a writer, how will you ever find your way there?
