Okay not to be dramatic but you literally have a sparkle in your eye talking about writing this book and that is exactly why you deserve to be successful!! 👏

I also felt this yesterday when I was editing my draft. I just want chapter 31 to get done but I just couldn’t because I was so bored and don’t feel like it. I just closed my laptop and found myself browsing the internet until today 😫

I was literally talking about this with a friend yesterday; how we both create more consistently when we stop consuming so much content and allow boredom to take over. Sometimes we just need a reset. Speaking of which, I’ll take this as my sign to get off this app and write 😂

This is incredibly exciting! I'm so excited to get my hands on it when it's out in the wild. You deserve all the success! And you're 100% right, boredom breeds creativity.

Luke how do I make that leap to start writing rather than just reading? Any resources you’d recommend? Looking forward to your book!

Boredom is close to the point… “Mindlessness” which is often mislabeled as mindfulness. Emptying the mind is the key to presence and to have access to the flow! 🙏🏽

A trick I’ve used for years Luke is lying down to take a nap. You don’t sleep but in that semi drowsy state you’ll solve plot problems, get ideas, etc… Turns out it’s a scientific thing, called the hypnagogic state, where creativity is unleashed when we’re about to fall asleep!

Absolutely. Taking a break is amazing for inspo. A lot of my best ideas came when I was in the shower 😂 Then I’d need to rush out and find a notebook and pen!

I have a book suggestion ... have you read, seen anything about the work is not enough by Zoe Oldenburg. I read it when I was young at it made a true impact on me. the characters, the storyline, the romance, the intensity of the war scenes and the descriptions where so intense. it's still a firm favourite. it's set in medieval times and from what I'm aware of .. the author was a historian so it's not only an amazing story, but it's hysterically accurate 👌
