ReplyDeleteKeep on posting!
First of all I would like to say excellent blog!
ReplyDeleteI had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you do not mind.
I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear
your thoughts before writing. I have had difficulty clearing
my mind in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the
first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or
tips? Thank you!
