Initially routine was very important -- just committing to showing up at the desk every day. Now it's part of my life so I tend to just do it, but if I'm not "feeling it" particularly, I try to go easy on myself and just read or go for a walk.

I often return to the motto of my high school: 'Fortiter et Suaviter' - Strength and Kindness. I've found that if I try to honour these two things it's a good way of trying to be the best version of myself.

I think reading's a good thing to do when blocked - both as a way to hopefully get unblocked as well as being something productive to do in the meantime.

It was summer and my husband was away for a month for work. We had just moved to a new house so it was an unfamiliar environment and these 1 and 2 sentence "postcards" started coming in to my head. I started writing them on index cards. I didn't know who they were to or from but as the pile grew I started to get the sense of the woman whose voice it was and her missing partner who was not receiving these messages from her.
