Repitition is the writer’s mortal enemy.*
Robert McKee
We know that life contains way more repetition than
a writer dares to include –
Otherwise we’d just give up on the book or TV series,
But we also need to beware repetition in our daily lives:
The best repetitions will always stimulate the discovery of the new,
Whilst the best of the new will always produce repetitions;
If we only live in our repetitions it becomes repetitionism** –
Our mortal enemy, and if we only live in the new then
we have another -ism, and another mortal enemy –
The learner explores both the new and repetition.
How and where do you see this movement in your life?

**I may have made a new word as it seems we are blind to this.
