Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested to see if
it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple
ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share
it with someone!
First of all I want to say great blog! I had a quick
question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.
I have had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are
wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any suggestions or hints? Many thanks!
Howdy! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after browsing through some of the
