You have a way of explaining my unexpressed feelings, but with so much beauty and wisdom! That twitchy feeling is all too familiar. I love your witchy black hourglass. A beautiful container for writing time. It makes me think how much of my word/time tracking is part of that desire to have contained writing space and time.

Hi Bronwen! I saw your talk at the creative writing class at Vancouver Writers Fest. I loved it so much! It made me want to look you up. I love what you writer here!

I'm a single mom of 2, also. And a writer! So I relate so much to everything you talk about.

I love your timer! I bought myself something called a "time timer". They use it for kids with ADHD so they can visualize the time. it really helps!

What I tell myself is: This hour is sacred and it's for production only. Zero consumption. So I stay away from any screens for that time. I also light a candle! Which makes the sacred feel even more sacred.

I'm gonna try your soup!! Looks amazing.

Big hugs - Ani

We had an hourglass for the first iteration of Shut Up and Write at the library. It was really great, I miss working like that!

And I think I'll try that recipe out this weekend! :)
