Your Summer of Writing!


We're officially two months into spring—folks are freshening up their homes, dusting off their patio furniture, and preparing for a summer of fun activities.

Some people are really into gardening too, either planting new seeds, or anticipating the return of the perennials that have been dormant all winter.

Your writing practice is a lot like a garden. In order for it to flourish, the soil needs to be turned and enriched. And even if you're trying to revive those perennials—those stories that have lain dormant for too long—you still have to prepare the soil and be ready to nurture new seeds and old bulbs alike.

The Writing As Renewal experience can help you do just that—feed and renew the soil of your writing practice by connecting you with your writer's spirit and discovering the stories your hearts wants to tell. Beyond that, nurturing those stories to full germination as you prepare for a summer of writing.

I've talked to several writers, some of them good friends who are going through this process now. And it always boils down to one thing—the writer's connection to their practice, their art.

Over the next few days, I'll share more about how exciting it can be to give birth to a new story, or to excavate a long-buried story your heart wants to tell. I'll also talk about some of the roadblocks to this work and how you can eliminate them.

I'm still putting the finishing touches on this experience before it launches on May 21, so now's your chance to share what's most challenging for you about starting a new writing project (or dusting off one that you've set aside), and what's the biggest hindrance to maintaining a fulfilling writing practice.
