However, I wholeheartedly plan to come back next year and be ready for a full.<\/p>\n<p>To prepare, I&#8217;m buying a thesaurus app for my phone, planning on doing about a fifteen minute\u00a0stream of consciousness each morning between now and Saturday &#8211; to get my creative juices flowing, and I have reserved my favorite hammock (the one by the creek in the wooded section of our 18-acre farmstead) for a three hour slot in the afternoon.
