I am going to switch things up on you a little bit today.

You know how we have been imagining Super Hero #3 as two separate identities? The one that everybody sees and then the Super Hero costume?

Well today, I want us to scrap that idea, entirely.

We are going to reimagine Super Hero #3 as one identity. Super Hero #3 is never in disguise. He or she (your gender) lives the way he or she is all of the time.

It’s like if you ever watched Descendants, how the Villains just live their lives as they are.

No more hiding, no more pretending, no more having to change back and forth in costume.

This presents it’s own challenge, because even the X-Men have costumes. Even though they don’t hide their abilities from everyone, they still wear suits.

So what your Super Hero persona #3 has to do is plan every day outfits that still support your abilities. It’s like being a plain-clothes Police Officer. The PO still has a place to hide his weapons. He might still wear a bullet-proof vest under his t-shirt if he wants to wear one that day.

So what kind of “plain clothes” versions of your super hero gear are you designing to make this work?

My Super Hero #3 looks a lot like Maleficent. Let’s see if ChatGPT can hold it together long enough to get me a picture. I haven’t read the Terms and Conditions or Privacy Policy for any other AI software yet, that’s why I keep going back to ChatGPT. I also like that I can use it without paying for it.

My super powers in iteration #3 are the ability to organize the environment just by stepping into it. I bring clarity, focus, peace, calm, and order, which ultimately leads to greater growth. The people around me aren’t brain-washed or being mind-controlled, they are experiencing deep, inner peace. Maybe for the first time ever.

That is why their eyes are closed. They are allowed to enjoy the feeling and experience it deeply. They are safe to do so too. Harmony is one of my superpowers. Teamwork is another. Getting everybody to work together as one unit. Not as slaves, but as part of the same human race.

Don’t worry, if you’re keeping up with me on social media you know my hair does not look like that today. I have other versions of this image, but honestly I feel so inspired by how they turned out I don’t want to share them yet. I might write a story about my Super Hero Self #3, and I don’t want anyone else to beat me to the punch 🙂

So you have your prompt for Day 76. Do you remember what it was?

How can you merge the two versions of Super Hero #3. You don’t have to merge #1 and #2, they were just exercises to get us here. If there is anything from those two Super Heroes, or if any new ideas come to mind that you want to incorporate into version #3, feel free to do whatever your heart desires 🙂

That is all part of the creative process! If you are in a flow state, the ideas just come up like that. If you’re feeling stuck, that’s okay too. That can happen sometimes. Don’t force yourself either way, just let the answers come to you in good time. Sometimes what we need to do is just give ourselves a break. Take a walk, have a spa day, relax, take a nap, read a book, scroll through social media, play a game, draw, color. Relax. Just do whatever you find fun.

Remember, this is very important, Writer’s Block Does Not Last Forever for AnyBody. Except for those who want it to. Don’t push through it. Sometimes you just need life experience in order to be able to write. Go do something else for a while if that ever happens to you. And maybe don’t sign a book deal, just write books because you enjoy doing it. Then sell them once they’re written. Don’t indebt yourself to a critic nor publisher who might squash your desire to write. Please 🙂
