Talk it out
Dictate or type. Nothing said here touches your manuscript.
I'm here. Where's the book sitting in your head this morning?
Care, quietly
Nudges wait for a natural pause. They never take the page.
Water
Two hours since the last glass. No hurry.
Food
You started at 6:40. Something warm, when you surface.
Move
Fifty-two minutes sitting. Two minutes standing helps.
Stop
You said 9pm was your line tonight. It's 8:15.
How it should sound
If it sounds like a robot to you, it's wrong. Tune it until it sounds like someone you'd let read your work.
