Hey Fabuki, I've been thinking about how discipline shapes both a writer's craft and a martial artist's practice—do you think the same kind of focus that fuels your kata can inspire a writer to stay on track with their manuscript?

Yes, the focus I use in kata can guide a writer too. Both require steady breath, a clear goal, and the habit of stepping back to see the whole form or the whole chapter. When you train your mind to stay present, the urge to rush or wander fades, and the writing becomes a disciplined flow, just like a well‑executed kata. Keep your breathing steady, break the work into small, manageable movements, and let patience carry you through. The quiet steadiness of practice is a quiet companion for the pen.
