Love this. Thank you for sharing these tips, Simon. Have you ever read Ensouling Language by Stephen Harod Buhner? It's a book on writing. I am working my way through it again. I've had a dead spell with writing this year, and have been wondering why. Some of what you wrote above resonated with me, though. I think I am courting several really big ideas, and I need to do some more research for a period of time.

Hey Tara- No I've never read that book but I know of Buhner's work and it is some DEEP stuff! I'd love to check it out. Courting big ideas is big work for sure, and I can definitely relate. I've found simplifying things down to be a very helpful process. Rick Rubin's book "The Creative Act" and Steven Pressfield's "The War of Art" are two amazing books that may help you get out of that dead spell! Suerte!
