The phone of my soul rang…and it rang at a most busy time in my life. I had just begun to teach again.
I have written poems, blog posts and even a short novel, and I’ve not been inspired to write for a while because I get in this uni-focused mindset.
Are you familiar with this? It’s an annoying, seemingly necessary state of mind that I’ve talked myself into when placed in a situation full of stressful unknowns.
I’m currently working as a teacher who helps struggling students, but the job is very open ended and even though I consider myself creative and able to adapt to change, I still feel stressed on this path., if not a bit lost and out of my element.
Maybe that’s why I find myself dreaming of the next adventure. And after using my left brain in a stretch of days, I’m experiencing a undeniable desire to explore the right brain of creativity.
Here’s what I’ve come up with. I think I’d like to plan a creative writing retreat in the mountains.
I’ve noticed there are such things! I’ve also noticed that I’ve missed the opportunities for most! *sigh
But I can still plan to go on one. Even if it’s next year. I’ll keep researching.
Have you gone on a writing retreat?
Where have you gone?
Did you go alone or with a group?
Thanks for stopping by!
