One particular morning, I felt the need to take a quiet walk to calm, meditate and be alone. It was on this walk that I came to a revelation. I knew I’ve experienced it in the past but didn’t pay much attention or maybe before I merely took it for granted.

“And I think I’m fallin.”

I have a trick I use to prevent myself from getting writer's block: I keep several projects going at the same time so I can always switch to something I'm not blocked on.
