Hi Friend,

I've been thinking about some of the essential ingredients that enable me and other writers to get work done on our novels.

The essential ingredients for all artists imho

I've come up with a few key items:

setting boundaries
setting a timer to write
journaling first as a way to connect to myself and my story
trusting the process

Your thoughts?

If you'd like to chime in to the conversation, comment on my Facebook post here.

I'd love to know.

On to the podcast...
