True! Every word. I think you’ve very clearly stated everything I’ve ever gone through when trying to write…and I have mostly fallen into all the traps that stop me😂. But this is great reminder of the simple things. Thank you. This genuinely helps an extremely distracted old dude that still hasn’t learned the art of simple focus….

I love this, Lael. I think these principles can be applied to any art form - painting, writing, etc. Thanks for sharing - it’s very helpful and inspiring ♥️

They definitely can !! I use the same ones for painting. I hope you make something & share it with me :)

Thank you for this! Lots that resonated with me, the mornings and coffee and getting it finished right to the end, especially.
