That is great advice for someone who does not watch the kids every day because your spouse works every day. Plus frequent, almost daily migraines.

I am not wailing "poor me" here. Can you consult someone in my boat who manages to still be a productive writer?

Okay, this newsletter inspired me to sign up for 1000 words of summer for the first time. I'm scared, but excited!

Love the connection between running and writing. I tried to get various books published for years. After I began to run (at 49), the stamina, alone time, nature, oxygen, je ne sais quoi, gave me the oomph to make it happen. Never apologize for the running content. You always make it relevant. Thank you!!

Used to get my best thoughts while running. Something about that oxygen!
