Fabulous advice and a great exercise! I often imagine that I have absolutely nothing on my “to do” list and try to really put myself in that space. I admit, for some jobs I’ve had, I felt pretty darned great and moved on to the next project. When it comes to writing, though, I ALWAYS, come back to it. As you say , it’s ingrained, it’s part of who you are.

This is such a smart exercise, Claudine. Asking, What would I do if there was nothing I *had* to do. Thank you for this!

Thank you again for such a fun and inspiring interview! This advice was absolutely my favorite part, and I've already thought about it at least 10 times since you sent it to me.
