Santa Fe - Here I Come
Two weeks from today will find me driving south on I25 from south suburban Denver to Santa Fe, New Mexico. I have rented a casita* - and will endeavor to sequester myself for a month of writing. By nature I am a procrastinator, so if I stay where I am, I will likely never finish this writing project that has been in my heart, and my mind. Just not on paper. Well, that's not really true. I have written about a dozen pieces for what will hopefully morph into a book. But I need at least three dozen more.
What does sequester mean to me? Here is my utopian vision:
- Wake up early and write
- Have a cup of coffee and write
- Eat breakfast and write
- Write, write, write.
- Ass in chair, pen in hand
- Write, write, write
In actuality this is more my style:
- Wake up, check phone for social media opium
- Go to gym
- Visit a museum
- Try to write
Only time will tell if a change of scenery will be the missing muse of my motivation!
Friends and family - I implore you to help me out. Don't call me! Don't start a WWF game with me! Help me be successful in this important attempt to define myself as a writer.
Please do tell me your favorite spots in Santa Fe and surrounding areas for food, adventure and experiences, I will need to hike, be in nature and see art to keep the creativity going. If you see a poem or essay that has you thinking of me - send it. I'll need all the help, love and positivity of my tribe to keep me going.
Time to write,
Jane
