Kayleigh Jean
Kayleigh Jean asked Elizabeth Gilbert:

Hi Liz! Saw your interview on MarieTV, just lovely! My Q is about rituals. Before writing, I love looking at Pinterest boards made for my stories, listening to songs that inspired my characters/setting, lighting a candle, and writing in my journal for a few minutes first. It helps ease the transition into to the manuscript without too much pressure. Do you have any pre-writing rituals you do to enhance creativity?

Meredith
Meredith asked Elizabeth Gilbert:

Elizabeth what is your advice for a 25 year old writer who is looking into Ashrams retreats or stays? Stay in the states or go abroad? Volunteer more or less during the stay? Etc. I watched your Ted talk on the creative process and it was beyond helpful. I really look up to you Lovingly, Meredith
