Reading Resopnse #1

After reading the first 12 pages of Boice's book "How Writer's Journey to Comfort and Fluency", I have realized that many of the same issues that plague my writing process also consume others. At first this realization gave little comfort as while I'm sure that if a key to motivation for writing was as easy as using mindfulness exercises and taking a closer look objectively at your actions from a behavioral point of view, well then... I hadn't thought of instilling mindfulness into my work motivations.

I have had a little experience with mindfulness as a concept. In fact my roommate, a behavior analyst, lives by much of the tennants of mindfulness and the relational frame theory. I just hadn't taken a serious look at my professioinal life in this way. I am going to seriously establish a time each week to really give this a go with my personal projects as a supplement to my BDWS and reading response.
