I have quit on this twice, but I really think I need to spend more time on my creative side and I like the approach of the book. I love new sparkly processes—but hate structure. It’s a strange tension in me. Anyway, I want to give this a chance (again). I have to struggle with my need to be perfect about the exercises. It always bogs me down.
