While it’s true testosterone will help you focus, to much will have you focusing on only one thing; and it’s not writing .

That sounds like a fabulous writing schedule, Ling! Glad to hear it.

Humble ambitions, low expectations, this is what leaves room for the good stuff to come in, for sure. I always have a terrible time remembering it myself. . . .

Yes, must catch up, I’ve seen your fabulous stuff around here and there the past few years my dear, you rock star xxoEliz.

It’s so true. I’ve been puzzling over the idea of a writing schedule for ages, and only in the past year have I started finding a writing rhythm. I write at a certain time of the day, after my job is done and I’ve eaten and my mind is relaxed.

I come to the page with humble ambitions, only to find those five minutes turning into 10 minutes, then half an hour, then an hour, then two hours, etc. I stop when it feels right, just before I get tired.

So excited to see you dispensing your tips! Will have to properly catch up one day! xoxo.

Hey Kat! So great to hear from you!

I know, the email, the email is a big big zapper/black hole, isn’t it? There’s a DNA link there as well–we are so wired as women to TALK, we just can’t resist connection. So much easier than sitting by ourselves FOCUSING

I always forget about the library–what a great solution. So smart–there is all that concentration energy externally, rather than the buzzy distraction of the coffee shop. . .

Now if only they sold little gluten-free treats at the library . . .

Rooting for you!!–I’m taking that anxiety resistance you’re having as a sign that big fun awesome things are about to show up on your page. . . so keep me posted for sure
xoE

Elizabeth:
It is great to hear from you! I’m so happy that you are back online… and just in time. I have not written for a very long time (as you’ll see from the blog) and have been antsy and anxious.

I always feel uncomfortable writing at home. I cannot seem to get started and then I delve into email and online nonsense.

My solution – the library. I don’t know what it is, but being in quiet room with lots of people concentrating gets my groove on.

Thanks so much for being here! You are awesome!!
