What is the trellis that your writing life grows on? What habits or practices help you eliminate distractions and provide an environment where your writing can flourish?

This week, I talk about a concept called a “Rule of Life” - a custom-designed set of habits or practices that help us grow in our faith. We’ll talk about it not only for our growth as disciples of Jesus, but also how the same idea can be applied to our writing lives.
