Darlings! Thank you so much for your responses to our Survey! With your fabulous input, our upcoming Course will be even more magnificent than we imagined. We truly are listening!
For example, a startlingly large number of you aren’t writing because you fear being eaten by zombies. O, Darlings, we can help you with that, and are already working on a new zombie module for the Course.
If you haven’t taken the Survey yet, I would be absolutely thrilled if you’d do it! It only takes a few moments, and you might win a lovely prize.
Your Exercise
In all the excitement of the Manifesto, I’m afraid we’ve neglected your Training Exercises. I’m so sorry, Darlings! Let’s kick things off again with a deliciously simple Mission: comfort. Ethelie will frown, as she ever does, but let’s not think of her tonight.
Set your timer and freewrite for ten minutes on the subject of Comfort. Keep your pen moving, even if you believe you have nothing to say; simply keep writing until the time has elapsed. Write by hand, on creamy and blank white pages, with a darkly flowing fountain pen, if you find that comforting. Or sit at your Type-Writing Machine, and be comforted by the sound of keys striking crisp paper. Simply keep the words coming.
What does Comfort mean to you? What experiences, sensations, tastes, scents, thoughts, do you find Comforting? Why do you deny yourself Comfort? What memories do you have of Comfort — or its lack? How do you Comfort others?
When you are quite finished, look over your writing. Find one comforting thing you can do for yourself right now — and do it.
Then, refreshed and rejuvenated, get back to your writing! Subsiste sermonem statim et scribe!
