Yes and…. Is so helpful in writing and in life.

I also find it helpful to listen to who the watcher at the gates sounds like. Is it my mom? My 5th grade teacher? A work colleague?

If it doesn’t sound like me, it’s a game I don’t want to play. If it sounds like me, I gently ask for it to come back later.

Urgh the watcher. I got so much in my head during my one and only improv course that I abandoned it after failing a level. I became focussed on the fact that English not being my first language was a barrier to me achieving a decent interaction and to others understanding me. Also I am kinda convinced that I might be a sociopath in English and really funny in Italian (backed by studies!)
