As an adult, I still remember something that I did as a child.
I was attempting to meditate, I was syncing my breathing to my heart beat.
I slowed my breathing, my heart slowed, I slowed more, and more, I stopped breathing, my heart stopped.
I was using my clock as a focal point, it was one of those rotating film one.
I felt psychically falling, I felt psychically flying forward.
I panicked, and pulled back to myself, from both directions.
The clock had stopped, and the black plastic front was now frosted white.
It was not repairable, the gears were filled with powered plastic dust.

I tried to come up with several completely unrelated terms, and then make a story that somehow ties them all together, The Egyptian Goddess Bastet, spaceships, and Medusa.

Start a different book, and then go back to the other after you clear your head a bit.

Find someone to proofread before you submit (I learned that the hard way)

I read multiple other e-books, and thought, I can try doing one of my own.
