Flip!

Hi you.

Okey dokey. Sometime last week the switch flipped in my head about just wanting to write—with the added bonus of the next bit being, you know, actually writing—and for the first time in weeks I’ve been getting some things done.

Really, a part of that is that I did what I always forget to do until I’ve done some good suffering—I scaled back. Not “scaled back” as in giving up or downgrading, just as in taking properly sized steps instead of tremendous leaps. My brain works in tremendous leaps, but my mere mortal physical self can only move in steps.

I find it very ironic that I’ve finally hit a groove and we have to leave town Thursday for a massive trip back east. I’ll be away for 2.5 weeks! All I want to do is write! Sigh.

xoxo

  • I often get frustrated when I'm in some sort of creative groove and life interrupts. I have this thought in the back of my head of inviting a few of the crazy creative people in my life to join me at a mini-retreat somewhere..... where the focus is not so much on socializing, but having a space away from regular life to get some serious creating done (with socializing after hours or something). But then I think that being around the awesome people I'd want to invite, I'd get nothing done because we'd be so energized and hyped to be hanging out together! Also, finding time to go away is a huge barrier.
  • I hear you on this. I think a creative retreat is a great idea for people
    who want to collaborate; then all of the non-stop chatter and distraction
    can actually be really productive.
