So yesterday’s call was fun - chatting about all different things. David and Ian was talking about Ian’s story and how it came to him. And how after putting in a lot of work, over time your brain starts to see things differently and able to organise these things into structure. I mentioned I watched a video with DIRECTOR and stunt actor Chad Stahelski talking about a similar thing. Not the same as he is talking in the POV of a director. But I do think it’s valuable or at least very interesting and relateable to writing. Over time as we work more and more with our writing. We will see things much differently. There’s actually not really a point to this post other than I found the interview I was talking about. - from his directing point of view that I think some what applies to writing now. Ps. It would be a dream to one day , work with CHAD Stahelski, I think he is awesome. And alot of the projects he has worked on stunting and directing are genuinely some of my fave of all time. Also the stunting is awesome because I’ve always been drawn to wanting to do martial arts etc something I’ve always been fascinated by. ( I’m aware I’m dreaming and reaching )

When it comes to focus, 40 Hz and gamma waves are actually the exact same thing. Gamma waves are the brain’s fastest electrical oscillations (32–100 Hz), and 40 Hz is a specific frequency within this range associated with peak awareness, information processing, and deep focus.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smpe0m4RD0M

Hi all, this is basically an apology to my parents... they're not with us anymore to hear it, but I wrote this anyway. Here's the first part: https://anneclendening.com/bad-daughter-part-one/ You can find stuff about my memoir on there too! Hardest thing I ever did was write that book. Read an excerpt from Bent: How Yoga Saved My Ass on Amazon (it's not just about yoga): https://www.amazon.com/Bent-How-Yoga-Saved-Ass/dp/1941529658/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3QWF2K5SZFZTG&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pTjo4ktGipRBv7gmO77ZEQ.L1vEw8vBLTEQqTIRNqgoyKxqF9oeXRI3uumnshmQd0k&dib_tag=se&keywords=bent+clendening&qid=1779387595&sprefix=bent+clendening%2Caps%2C382&sr=8-1 See ya :-)
