    About this ebook

    Too often we go for an all or nothing attitude, and unfortunately, it’s the nothing we walk away with. Whether your mountain to climb is losing weight, learning to play an instrument, or tackling a mound of paperwork, seeing a task in small parts makes the job ahead look less daunting.

    Based on a personal experience and Proverbs 19:2: “It is not good to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty and miss the way.”

      Reading as Sanctuary

      Nov 7, 2021

      As a young child, reading took me to imagined worlds. Adventures had and literary friendships made. I still remember faking a sick day so I could stay home and read Matilda in one sitting (sorry, Mum) – one of my first (and only) displays of childhoo

      It reminds me of a moment I used to have in college. I’d put off my term papers every single time till the last minute. So I’d be up at 3 or 4 in the morning working on some damn thesis totally confused, completely exhausted, and I’d have this glorio

      I’m an under-writer. I tend to trace a story out using the faintest of lines, leaving half of the page blank, leaving half of the words in my head. Then I have to go back and shore up what I’ve written, making sure I’m not expecting a great feat of t

      In a moment of light-headedness, I once saw writing as being like taking a long walk. I think it was the long bit that came to mind. How long it took to think of something cogent to write; how long it took to actually write the thing; and the length
