Breath Prayers for Writers


by Lynn H. Blackburn @LynnHBlackburn

You’d think, as writers, that we would have all the words.

But, as writers, we know better than anyone that sometimes words are hard. 

We might struggle to find the words for any number of reasons. 

We don’t live life in a vacuum, so the impact of family dynamics, busy schedules, illness, fatigue, work challenges…even the weather can twist us into knots and make it difficult to settle our brain so we can create. 

And let’s not forget all the things that can stress us out about our writing. Deadlines, revisions, submissions, reviews…on any given day, our mind can run off the rails and into a spiral of anxiety and fear that can cripple our creative spirit.
