  7. First off I would like to say terrific blog!
    I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.

    I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts
    prior to writing. I've had a difficult time clearing my mind
    in getting my thoughts out there. I do take pleasure in 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 hints? Appreciate it!
