I know, I know.
I headed off on a week long writer’s retreat three weeks ago and I haven’t written about it yet.
Well, to be honest, I’ve had some ‘fun’ mental health stuff going on and I pretty much have been slacking since I got caught up with work after arriving back home.
(Wow, that sentence ended up being a lot longer than I thought it would.)
To condense the writing retreat into one word: success.
I came back home with the knowledge that I still have a writer brain (which equates to me simply being a slacker rather than having lost ability), a finished post-apocalyptic short story, a fantasy short story about one third done, a romance novella about three quarters done and a romance novel idea I am very excited about.
Hm. Perhaps another problem is my lack of focus on a single project.
No matter what any of my other problems are, it’s more than obvious that things will rock and roll quite well if I just make time to focus on them. However, even with the super-affordable place I stayed at, running away for weeks at a time is not a financially viable way to get writing done.
I guess I’ll have to be like everyone else and actually, oh, work hard on it.
I’ve already taken steps to help myself, including installing LeechBlock. Now I just have to make some goals to work toward.
