On episode 96 of the WRITER 2.0 Podcast I spoke with author and meditation teacher Ann Purcell. We discussed:
- how meditation can decrease anxiety and help writers focus;
- how athletes, writers, and others can get in “the zone” more frequently;
- her latest book: The Transcendental Meditation Technique and The Journey of Enlightenment;
- why we don’t always do the things that we know are good for us;
- connecting the big themes of a book with the sentence by sentence construction.
Plus, on “Today in Writing,” Grimm’s Fairy Tales.
