In your own space, talk about an idea you wish you had the time / talent / energy to do. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Oh jeez. I don't even know where to start with this one. I think mine is going to be more geberal, rather than a specific idea I wish I could do. I really wish I was better at plot consistency and linear storytelling. I've written some poems that I think turned out pretty well, but when I try to write stories or anything with plot, I have a hard time with logic and getting from A to B without skipping a bunch of steps and having the whole thing be jarring.
I'd alao really like to make a quilt but I'm missing a lot of skills for that too. This one at least feels more in my wheel house. I can knit and crochet, so a quilt doesn't feel so far out of reach.
In general, I need more staying power and follow through. I tend to be really into things at first, devoting a lot of time and energy to them, but then interest and drive fall off. Things I genuinely like (like knitting) will go in cycles, so I'll work on something a lot, then not touch it for months, then come back to it and so on. This can make it hard to finish projects, or get through a backlog of things I want to get done.

A friend of mine pointed me to a podcast that talked about writing skills that covered lots of this stuff. Highly recommend! (Also they’re just plain fun to listen to.)
