What stops us from writing?
An uncomfortable chair. A cold room.
An early start, wrenched from a warm bed in January when our primitive brain grunts, ‘I should be hibernating! Or near as.’
A lack of a door to protect our space.
A lack of a peer group.
A lack of encouragement.

Get the fundamentals sorted.
What’s in the tiny triangle at the top of that pyramid?
Clarity.
Be clear what you want to say and the (right) words will flow.
