I’m in Iceland for the Iceland Writers Retreat which officially ended yesterday! It’s so amazing here. I love it. Today I have a free day and I’m planning to spend the day doing literary things.

The week is a lot for me to figure out this week because it will basically consist of traveling and readjusting back to California time, so here is what I will do TODAY.

Write because I’m super inspired after the past few days of workshops.

Read because I love getting lost in books.

Finally, explore the city a bit.

What are your goals for today or for the week??

**it’s okay to make daily goals when the week is too busy, unorganized or just too crazy. Be kind to yourself. 

Hello From Iceland

Hello! I’m at the Iceland Writers Retreat and can’t be more excited to dig into my novel, some amazing reading, enjoying food with new friends, and today–going on a Golden Circle Tour arranged by the retreat. I’ve never been to Iceland before so this is a dream come true.

I hope you all have an amazing day.

I’ll blog about specifics about the retreat and Iceland next week.

Meanwhile, you can follow me on Instagram where I’m sure to be posting pictures.

Hello dear Writers.

How are you?

What is going on this week?

I have just landed in Iceland and am so excited to meet up with all the new friends I met via FB before the retreat has even started.

This morning I plan to drop my stuff at the hotel and find the nearest cafe, grab a cuppa and write a bit. It may not be brilliant but that is the goal.

How about you? Will you write today? Even for 10 minutes, no excuses?

We can do it!! That’s all for now because–traveled for over 20 hours to get here!! YAWN! 

HAPPY WRITING

It’s Monday. I love Mondays! Always have. It’s a new week full of possibilities! What are your creative goals for the week?
I’m focusing on writing A LOT this week, reading, and then getting everything ready for my trip to Iceland next week for the Iceland Writers Retreat.

So for me making goals is a process. I love love love making lists, but sticking to them is a horse of a different color as they say.  That said, I’m breaking my bad habits and creating better ones, like sticking to my lists of things to do.

This week—I’m making my novel my priority. I have set aside time every afternoon from 3-6 pm just to work on the novel. That means, NO OTHER DISTRACTIONS.

The only way to be a successful writer is to write.

I’m good about writing every day but I need to focus and get these revisions done.

How about you?

Do you have a set time every day, or do you just write when you are inspired and does that work for you?

Comment and let me know.
