Cracking the Explaining Code

WordSwap is a simple method of structuring story resets. For example, instead of habitually saying, “I’m sorry,” I replace the phrase with a brief declaration of action taken. Then I can decide if the action requires an apology or not. “I’m trying” has become “I am doing.” When I qualify an action as something I’m either beginning or still doing, I drop the qualifiers and replace them with, once again, “I’m doing.” Identifying my beginner status resets the story to start over, and “I’m still doing” is a sheepish form of judgment and failure.
