I sit at the kitchen island and read my email. whirr” – hit the keyboard. It’s the same, constant, predictable routine that happens every single day of my life (except weekends, of course). And today I wrote 8,000 words – not counting client emails!). I wake up. I grab a cup of coffee.

I hear about writer’s block all the time – in my online writing course, on my blog, even through private emails that only hint and whisper at the monster lurking under the bed. You need to just put fingers to the keyboard and GO. It doesn’t have to be that way. And I know someone who can teach you how.

They are enjoyable, of course, but it’s kinda difficult to make a living out of them. Online Courses This is something I haven’t done yet. But the most important part of the question is not “how” but “why”.

It would be much easier to keyboard it but I know it wouldn’t have the same effect as writing it by hand. I do feel much more comfortable with a keyboard than hand though. But after that, the defrag or spring cleaning of course. But, of course, you’re 100% right. I get hand cramps! Why I want a man cave.
