Youth, Water, Fear

1. Between the ages of 5 and 10, what was your favorite activity?  Describe it in as much detail as possible. You can write from your point-of-view or from the point-of-view of someone else watching you in this activity.
2. There is a saying in the martial arts to describe the proper mind frame needed to become a master. "Mind like Water." This is a state of mind that writers must strive for as well. Write about that feeling. Have you ever experienced it? If so, how did it feel? What images does the phrase "Mind like water" bring to mind?
3. Write about a time when you acted a certain way because of fear. What were the consequences?
