First of all I want to say great blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your
head before writing. I have had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out.
I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any
ideas or hints? Thank you!
