I did a lot of work yesterday. Purely physical stuff, cleaning out stalls, mowing, etc. and this morning I’m still coasting on the mental high. During the later part of last evening, I started to examine why it was I felt so good about doing all that work. I’ll get to that in a moment, …
Before I begin, I would like to draw your attention to the following video of one of Tom Holland’s performances on Lip Sync Battle. No, seriously. This isn’t me trying to Rick-Roll you here. I really want you to check out this video. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Did you SEE that??? Out of everything I’ve …
Today, I’d like to talk about Blogging and Writing. More specifically, Blogging while Writing. Blogging instead of Writing. It’s becoming more and more necessary for you – a Creative… (Sidebar: I think this applies to any creative endeavor, but since this is focused on Writing, I’ll stick with that) – to have some kind of …
Heaven help me, I may be a morning writer. That’s not to say that I *Can’t* write at other times, it’s just that it’s easier for me to get words down first thing in the morning. Sidebar: It technically isn’t the first thing in the morning. I wouldn’t get very far without my coffee. I …
