One thing that has helped is a tip I got from a directer. The first time I was cast in a major role, I was terrified that I would freeze on opening night. The director told us all to practice some deep breathing backstage before coming out. He also suggested that we concentrate on positive thoughts to keep the negativity of the fear at bay. It works, and I have since started using the same technique to chase off all those negative thoughts about my writing and the business and all the other stuff that can weigh on us.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-1997337105293893262011-10-17T09:27:03.340-06:002011-10-17T09:27:03.340-06:00I'm reminded of another acronym that often app...I'm reminded of another acronym that often applies to writers: Has Unfulfilled Nutritional Gap Enacting Ravenousness.Christopher Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667548312923348614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-22932149177434218182011-10-17T09:23:05.009-06:002011-10-17T09:23:05.009-06:00Lack of sleep can literally drive you insane.
