The way I wrote and finished my book was to assign a set time each day (4:30 a.m.) where I would write undisturbed for as long as I needed. I listened to a single cellist (all of her work, looped) and only listened to her when I wrote. I immersed myself and set my worries aside, particularly my lack of confidence, hesitancy and self-critical nature. And I just moved forward.

I love that! It sounds like you've created a ritual that allows the words to flow freely. Thanks for sharing.

I listen to my heart, find my courage to be vulnerable and write about the unexpected that comes when you share your art, versus the mundane and predictability of logic.
