  • First off I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick
    question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your
    thoughts prior to writing. I have had a difficult time clearing
    my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.
    I truly do take pleasure in writing however it
    just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes
    are wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any
    recommendations or hints? Thank you!
