You're writing about not writing means your should write-- the novel that is. I know perfectionism can be a hindrance to our dreams. You write beautifully. A novel is in your stars.
I had no idea English wasn’t your first language - you write so well that I never would of guessed.
I really enjoy the way you make our perfectionism, procrastination, and self-doubt more real by connecting them to the idea of threshold guardians. I think it’s good to put a face to the foe you want to overcome - and your piece does that well.
The guardians in the temples may be there to deny the entrance for procrastination, perfectionism, internal fears, doubts, and self-sabotaging behaviors, etc. So you can reach your destination, the divinity.

Thank you for your kind words, Michael! I like the idea of putting a face to your foes!
Yes, it seems easier to overcomes the foe if you can ‘see’ it clearly.
Thanks Priya
