Slowing Down

By Cynthia Sax on October 18, 2025

My writing schedule has slowed. Significantly.

And I love this. I can relax more and embrace every word written. I have more time to think about the scene I’ll soon write. I can daydream about the story and devote more time to the small details.

It is glorious.

In today’s world, we’re encouraged to rush, rush, rush. Rush through meals. Rush through the morning shower. Sleep less. Drive faster. Take the shortest routes.

This can be great. Especially if it allows us to spend more time with our loved ones or our dreams.

But slowing down can also be wonderful. Sitting around the table with our loved ones (human, furry or other), enjoying a meal, chatting can be magical. Taking a longer route can be an adventure. A longer shower can be a source of inspiration. Sleep…well…sleep is lovely. (smiles)

It is okay to slow down.
