I'm impressed. The thought of doing something like improv terrifies me! Which means I should probably do it...but please don't hold me to that idea!

I get that! I’d never make someone do something they’re afraid to do. I don’t believe that’s always a good thing. But if the secondary emotion is excitement or inspiration, well then… 😊

I love the way you reframe that to focusing on the secondary emotion!

Improve is an act of bravery, for sure. Glad you got out and did something out of your comfort zone. It sounds like it ended up being a good experience!

I feel like improv has a lot in common with writing fiction, just keeping yourself open to the next idea and nimble enough to grab it and write "Yes, and..." Good job putting yourself out there, Andrea - get well soon!

There are definitely similarities! It behooves us to be open to inspiration/change - in the writing process and in everything else.
