Goodreads asked E. Bast:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

E. Bast My favorite practice is writing in a fast, uncensored stream of consciousness first thing in the morning for 10-15 minutes. I affectionately call this my "head cleaner." It can be poetry, prose, immediate sensations, worries, journaling, goals... anything! The content is whatever is taking up space in my consciousness at the moment. Once this personal writing is done, I feel so much more psychic space for the writing project at hand.
