For this post, I read A Fable for the Living (Kevin Brockmeier) to frame my blogging content. I found that his ideas on connecting to my author-self would make a great frame work in order for me to successfully achieve this.
Dear Fitzgerald, I know that you and I are often at odds. Even when if we worked together it would be better for us as a whole. The two of us together could do so much more than when we are apart. Unfortunately, we butt heads to often, like a pair of rams dueling. You want to be freer and want to be more creative than me. Whereas I wish you were more methodical and logical when you are working. I feel that we are almost always at odds. But you are too scared to come take control when I need you too. Is that because I force you away? I force you to hide? Am I too overbearing? Please tell me. I need to know. You and I together could reach the stars we both yearn for. We could be the change we both wish to see in this crazy world. We could achieve so much together. I’m sorry if I have been too much or if I have been crazy in the past. I want this to change for the both of us together. We are both here so why not work together? We can change the world together. My Three step plan to reach my author self is simple, the first step is open-up more. I often close out things that I find weird or things that I do not like. My author-self used to be ones of these things that I excluded from taking part in my life before. If I open-up more with not only myself but the world around me, I think I can start reaching my author-self more. My next step involves turning myself off. I feel that in order to reach my author-self, I must turn off my logical brain and reach more into my emotional and open side. I feel that it is there that my author-self lives. My final step to reach you is to have more fun, too often am I bored or tired with myself, yet I do nothing in order to change it. If I truly want to reach you, I must have fun with these experiences that you come out. Sincerely, Daniel

I like the use of metaphors you have in your letter.
