Day Trip

What would happen if I didn't post today? It's been hard this week to write. My energy isn't there. My Inspiration is flagging.  I do know that just sitting down and writing is the work I need to do.  Real writers don't write only when they are inspired. Real writers write every day and it's hard. The words aren't always within reach.

I am looking looking forward to a day trip tomorrow to the Ringling Museum in Sarasota. My husband and daughter will bring their sketchbook. I will bring my camera and journal. I will find inspiration. I will find beauty. I will find solace spending time with the family. In Orlando, I am at the epicenter of the state.  Although many may come here for obvious reasons such as Disney, I love being in the middle and not far from amazing spaces to visit. I find solace in the natural beauty and the less traveled spaces. I find inspiration there. The trick to being a writer is to not only find it in the everyday ordinary things but also seek those places and spaces that help you resee the world and find the word.

  4. My favorite way to overcome writer's block is to go for a walk with my camera - hence one of my posts a month or so ago! enjoy, and I look forward to the fruits of your day.

  5. "The words aren't always within reach.". Yet somehow they are and we find words and we write! just as you did.

  6. This is definitely hard, especially when we know people are going to read what we write. Glad you stuck with it! You inspired me to struggle through this and we're going to feel so proud of ourselves at the end of the month!
