Failure is scary but it can also be interesting and even fruitful. (like when Jeffrey posts the wrong episode file to the podcast feed. here\\u2019s the correct one!)

Consume: \\u201cHow to Speak Poetry\\u201d by Leonard Cohen: https://acephalous.typepad.com/acephalous/leonard-cohen-how-to-spea.html

Create: Set a timer for 10 minutes, and write a murder mystery. Title that \\u201c1\\u201d. Then repeat the process with an entirely new murder mystery. Title that \\u201c2\\u201d. Repeat it a third time, again with an entirely new mystery. Title that \\u201c3\\u201d. Come back the next day and give yourself 30 minutes to edit these mysteries as best as you can. Put them in one document and title the document \\u201cThree Attempts to Tell a Murder Mystery\\u201d. You have now, in one hour, created a complete piece in which the point was the possibility of failure.
