The phone rings. The laundry pleads to be stuffed, cycled, dried and folded. Chaos reigns in the kitchen, e-mails queue for attention. Our lives are at once mundane and undeniably seductive at the same time. When we sit down to write at home, suddenly everything that marks our existence as tedious becomes compelling. Writing at home can seem tantamount to training for the Olympics past age nineteen.
Yet carving out time to write at home is possible. You can even design a home writing retreat. This weekend, I have staved off all other obligations and have Friday and Saturday free. I look forward to delving into my novel revision with hours of uninterrupted time. How to make sure I don’t veer into work mode. I’ve developed a strategy for an at home writing retreat.
Tune in tomorrow for eleven ways that you, too, can carve out space for uninterrupted writing bliss. (Psst…this works for all artists, not just writers!)
I am looking forward to eleven ways to carve out uninterrupted writing bliss. Just have to share with you that I am actually moving into my writing retreat today! My writing space has been dubbed, “MySpace.calm.” Sold my sportscar to pay for this room so I could get away to write to my hearts content. I can’t wait to see what escapes from my heart onto the page once I am moved into MySpace.calm. Figuring out what our needs are in regards to writing or being creative is essential to allowing our creativeness to feel free to flow.
Sports car for writing space? Sounds like a great deal for you!
Write on,
vroom, vroom!
