    First off I would like to say wonderful blog! I had
    a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
    I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing.
    I have had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out.
    I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15
    minutes are lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any
    recommendations or tips? Many thanks!
