Nature Has An Amazing Way Of Inspiring The Creative Mind

As I write this, I am in a cabin in Big Bear Lake and I feel very blessed to be surrounded by beauty during my writing retreat.

I had to first feed my muse.  So I went on a hike yesterday (while listening to music through my pink headphones), read some books, and drank plenty of water (because this elevation of 7,500 feet is no joke).  I am in a very peaceful state and all of these activities have given me the fire to produce more inspirational stories.

Before I started this blog, I spent my day writing the last three episodes (including revisions) for the first season of my drama series I've created.  I wish I can be here all week and work on my new novel!

I advise every type of writer to go on a writing retreat, even if it’s your own.  I suggest this especially to the writers who have distractions at home, have writer’s block, or who just can’t find the needed inspiration to get those words rolling.  Prepare yourself with a list of writing tasks before going on your retreat and allow yourself to fully enjoy the environment you’re in.  I promise this will give you more energy to help you write easier, and ideas will just start flowing.

T.N. Suarez said it best, “Creativity bleeds from the pen of inspiration.”
