Love the idea of a 5 minute free write. I’ve been trying to urge myself to write and lift weights every day but haven’t built it into my schedule so wind up frantically writing to get down my thoughts after they’ve stayed bottled up for too long.

Hey Sari,

thank you for this reminder. I have the same intentions. To achieve my writing goals, I even started counting things like writing 5 sentences or reading your newsletter for inspiration. Because then I feel better and it doesn't force me into the arms of my inner critic.

I love your interviews, they always give me new insights and the push I need to keep going.

Thanks for that.

With joy,

Diana

I’m going to try that exercise- to write every day for 20 minutes- but I add for no purpose, just for the writing. Not for work, marketing or any other goal. To focus on experimentation with words, prose and rhythm and new themes. Thanks Sari!
