My friend Nicole Baute who is also a writer made a list of 100 things that make her happy as part of a free writing exercise. Her list was interesting and revealing.<\/p>\n

I worked with Nicole for six months and I never knew she loved the color red too. The exercise created by Julia Cameron is to help writers get out of their heads. Anyway, so before I find the book \u2013 The Right to Write \u2013 I decided to try my hands at the exercise.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not officially out of my head yet, but I had the most fun compiling this list. I didn\u2019t even realize the different things that mean so much. One thing is, I will certainly find the book.<\/p>\n
