First of all I want to say superb blog! I had a quick
question in which I’d like to ask if you
do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
I’ve had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my
ideas out there. I truly do enjoy writing but it just
seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any
suggestions or hints? Appreciate it!
