This is 60 Seconds of Writing in Public with Johanna Rothman for June 6, 2025, where I read an excerpt of just a minute of some writing in progress.

Take Time to Breathe
One of the best things you can do to prepare physically is to take a little time to breathe. While I don't do deep breathing exercises, you might consider doing so. However, especially if my allergies are acting up, I'll breathe, blow my nose, and otherwise make sure everything is working.
We can't easily stay present if we can't breathe. Breathing allows me to stay physically and intellectually present. I bet it does for you, too.
You're physically ready. Now it's time for the last-minute preparations. I recommend you arrive early enough to prepare.
