Il Dolce Far Niente. The Art of Doing Nothing.
I am a professional writer these days. I write for money. A big part of writing that I enjoy is research. I’ve been doing research for an Italian skincare client of mine and found this Italian saying, literally “the sweetness … Continue reading
8 ways to get unstuck
