First of all I want to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question in which
I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself
and clear your mind prior to writing. I have had a hard time clearing
my mind in getting my thoughts out there. I do enjoy
writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any recommendations or hints? Thank you!
10 – 15 minutes is a good amount of time to center and settle in. Try free-writing during that time – write lists of rhyming words, or all the colors you know, or lists of words that all end with the same sound. Just get your mind ready for language action and then see what flows.
