I'm a freelance writer. For a while, I was content doing projects for my clients. And then I remembered a time when I was at my most creative. I wrote poetry and short stories and had endless ideas for screenplays and novels... I miss those days. This blog is all about reclaiming that.
I love taking pictures of flowers. I took a picture of this one during my last trip to Europe. I don’t remember where specifically. It was either in front of our Pension on Rhotenburg ob der Tauber or at Schloss Lindenhof in the gardens.
I am thinking back to the time when I was creative… I found a lot of inspiration reading the posts on this site. Alex B aka Girl at Play is someone who quit her job to follow her dream of being a writer and creative person. Perhaps I’ll go through and reread her chronicles and see if it sparks anything.
This is a picture my husband took of the Neues Ratshaus in Munich at night during the Kristkindlmarkt. I lived in Bavaria from 2002-2004. It was during this time that I was at my most creative.
I had this big idea that I was going to have a super productive day. Instead, I woke up early and got started late! I went for a run. I puttered around the house. I made a homemade breakfast. I even had this idea that I was going to the post office.
The post office was closed… the letter still needs to be mailed. Instead, I looked at my feet - I had gotten a pedicure about a month ago. I went for a six mile hike in my chacos and tripped on a rock - pedicure destroyed.
I was long overdue. And even though the letter-that-still-needs-to-be-mailed is actually my mortgage payment, I decided it could wait. Nothing makes me feel as refreshed as a pedicure and manicure. It was just what I needed!
