\nThis year mental and physical health has become a big priority for me, so I was very happy that Sara let me steal these interview questions from <\/span>her blog<\/a> which she subsequently got from Leanne <\/span>Sowul’s <\/span>\u201cBe Well, Write Well\u201d interview series<\/a> on DIY MFA! You can check out her original post on her blog <\/span>here<\/a>. Let’s get started!<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n
<\/b><\/span>
\nQuestion #1: What is your keystone habit (the habit that makes all other habits possible)?<\/b><\/span>
\nScheduling definitely. Organizing my time has taken so much pressure off of my life and I feel like I have more time yet still manage to get tasks done and done in a timely manner.<\/span>
\n
<\/b><\/span>
\nQuestion #2: Is there one wellness priority you never skimp on?<\/b><\/span>
\nMaking time for relaxation in my day. I take at least an hour out of my day just to sit and relax. This has done wonders for my mental health.<\/span>
\n
<\/b><\/span>
\nQuestion #3: What\u2019s your daily writing routine?<\/b><\/span>
\nIt honestly depends on what stage I am in writing, but it usually consists of me writing at my desk between 10pm and 1am listening to movie scores with a cup of tea, a S’well bottle full of cold water, and some snacks.<\/span>

\nQuestion #4: What are your essential writing \u201ctools\u201d?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
