October 23, 2012: What Fuels You?



The irony of making a living as a freelance writer can be that you end up having so little time for your own creative writing projects…maybe even less time than when you did something else for a living. That’s why I have an “art first” policy, which means that I try to get up early on weekdays and spend my first waking hour on a personal writing or art project. The next half-hour is reserved for meditation combined with exercise, preferably outdoors. This time of making stuff, meditation, motion, and marveling (have the yellows ever been this brilliant in October?) – provides the fuel for the day.
