Writing Weekend Retreat Here I Come

February 19, 2010

I’ve been planning this for a loooong time, but there was always multiple things happening each weekend. But the time has finally arrived. I get to spend almost two days in a hotel room writing. I hope to crank out at least 10,000 words, (more will be better) and not get hung up on all the details! Pray for me! I’m sort of a perfectionist when I write and have trouble finishing a first draft, but my first 50 pages sure do shine!!!

I’ve realized a couple of these weekends a year are how I have to write during this season in life. Whether in a weekend in a hotel or all day in a coffee shop. I need a huge chunk of time to get the words flowing. And when I do, they flow!

How do you write? In little bits or big chunks? And what’s the easiest way for you to get back into your story if you’ve been away for a while? That’s how it’s been for me and I’d hate to spend an hour warming up!!

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
