The break can be long or short but I like to move to another room or location. Meditation, music, using multiple senses like smell and taste while cooking, gardening, being out in nature, walking in the woods clears a cluttered mind. Read what you've written out loud to check for rhythm and flow. Reading books on writing, attending workshops or engaging in critique groups are fine but can be distracting. If you're a procrastinator, there will always be another book or discussion to keep you from your task: writing. If you're a serious writer, you will write no matter what and keep writing despite any obstacles. There will always be obstacles. That's life. Keep writing.(less)

Why Cats Climb and Get Stuck in Trees

Not all cats like climbing trees, but I’ve known many that do and I’m sharing a few of their secrets of what not to do. Lumi climbed a tree the other day, and I happened to be sitting right beside it with my phone in hand. I watched the whole decision unfold, the look up, the little repositioning of paws, then she just went for it like a pro. She has happily lived with us now for six months and as
