[stylist] Journaling

Wed Mar 5 17:17:17 UTC 2014

Ann,

I love your idea about spending the first couple of minutes of your day just
writing. I keep braille paper and slate and stylus on my night stand just
in case I wake in the middle of the night with an idea. I will
now implement your idea of just "free writing" in the morning. This is also
good because house is so quiet when I start my day.
