Retreat and Refresh
Kathryn Haueisen Cashen's article, Create Your Own Mini Writing Retreat offers wonderful tips and encouragement for carving out time dedicated to writing and refreshing those creative juices. Start small, she says, for it isn't always about attending the week long, amenity packed retreat centers. Time can be had in the normal routine if we are determined to find it.
The article above is featured at the Writer's Digest site, and also is linked in a recent post by Jean Fischer at The Walrus and the Carpenter. The post is a must read if you need a good chuckle and some encouragement. Jean shares her amusing adventures while attempting a writing retreat. Her perseverance and ability to go with the flow are quite evident as she heroically tries to salvage the day. Does she succeed? Hop over and see!
So what about you? Have you taken a writing or other kind of retreat lately? Was it refreshing? Do you have any retreat tips to share?
Have a wonderful weekend. Blessings!
