Habits "Beginning" Q/D #3

They are mentally flexible, self-reflective, and open to new ways of thinking, attributes that allow them to adapt to unfamiliar circumstances and problems."(Pg 18, Par.1)

Being a good writer does not mean following a set of rules but to go out there and engage and immerse yourself within the world to find out information about things you are curious about. Engaging yourself in the world allows you to come up with new ideas.
