I actually wrote the words “You must actualize your concepts of self” today. Then again I had an actual reason to be writing crap like that: I’m working on a scene that takes place during a cult’s “large group awareness training” seminar.

I need to fit the word “incentivize” in there somewhere. That one’s damn near incomprehensible.
