Ok, so my expectations for a week-long writing retreat were, dare I say, rather grand. The reality? I’m struggling. But trying to cultivate compassion and not harsh on myself too much.

The lesson here, I feel, is not so much be careful what you wish for, but be flexible. If one tactic for getting into what you’re working on doesn’t work, try another…right?

So today I’m working on a commentary that’s due, and that’s also connected to my chapter’s argument. Bird by bird, as dear ole Anne Lamott would say, bird by bird.

Anyone care to share their I-was-stuck-but-now-I’m-found writing story? I’m listenin’.
