If you want to start writing, the greatest thing you can do is block off 1 hour every morning and stick to it. Absolutely no exposure to other opinions or distractions (social media, messages, phone). You need space for creative ideas and modern life is great at taking that from you.

Eleanor Clarke Slagle, the ‘mother of occupational therapy’ was born OTD in 1870. Why is her Wikipedia biography so short when she is such a significant figure in #OTHistory? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleano…
