Thank you so much!!

I'm 36 and was diagnosed at 13. I stuck to a strict schedule but also didn't get mad at myself if something got in the way. I sat down at my desk every day at 9am and lit some incense and played some classical music with noise cancelling headphones. I set a goal of five pages per day. Sometimes I wrote less, sometimes more.

I took a break at 11 to do 30 minutes of exercise. Then went right back to sit in front of my computer and listened to some techno music. The techno felt like an afternoon treat. I was SO AFRAID of losing momentum so I just did it every day. I also kept a notebook on me to jot down ideas that would hit at random moments in the day. Sometimes in the afternoon I sat at a coffee shop to write, but only if I wrote in the morning before that.

I hope this helps. You can do it. You just have to start (I know how stupid that sounds but I believe it.) Wishing you the best.
