Actually it can be very challenging sometimes, but something that I find helpful is meditation. When I take a moment to clear my mind and focus on what I want... in this case for my muse to come tap me on the shoulder and say "Write Zara!" it helps me relax to the point where I can focus. I also recently learned the place mat exercise and that has been incredible:

My tastes generally match my mood, especially when I'm writing. Sometimes I choose instrumental or classical just because the words don't muddle the ones I'm writing. For that I'm particularly fond of Vanessa Mae, Tchaikovsky, and Ludovico Einaudi.

I like to explore 8tracks for some really great playlists. Music muses would be Kina Grannis, Norah Jones, Lykke Li, Bitter:Sweet, Florence and the Machine, Anjulie (her oldest stuff), Lana Del Ray etc...

I listen to the Gabriel and Dresden Remix of Motorcycle's As the Rush Comes on repeat. It's my favourite song right now.(less)

It starts again...

It's been a long while since I've been creative. So many life distractions have taken me away from my dreams. I know this is all too common with people in general and not just myself. Lately, I have been reflecting on the importance of my personal mission.

So here I am, once again writing novels and feeling excited about it, rejuvenated even. If this great pause during COVID-19 has taught me anythi Read more of this blog post »

“My mother looked back at me while my father drove. Her long auburn hair was shimmering in the flickers of light passing through the window from the oncoming highway traffic. Looking at her I admired her flawless, pearlescent skin. Her hazel eyes were flecked with bits of blue and teal like a true Mer. My mother was beautiful, and I looked nothing like her.”
Zara Steen

“I'm bookbrained-the act of book obsession common in writers. Not to be confused with bookbrains, a delicacy for zombies when eating the former.”
Zara Steen
