Finally…vacation

Enjoying some time off, but still carving out moments to write. This came into my head while I swayed in a wooden rocking chair, it’s brightly colored slats faded by the seasons. The chair’s gate was a bit wobbly as I pushed myself up and down with one leg. I’m in the front garden of a friend’s house, gratefully borrowed for the holiday. The sky’s are cloudy and the wind’s a little chilly, but the creeping ivy and redbrick patio feel just about right.

Affirmed

Stealing into a hotel pool.
Free breakfast for a smile.
Long, lingering twilights,
Full of celebratory sights.

Respites, breaks and interludes.
Moments of leisure:
Those infinite loops,
And seconds to be squandered.

Time’s friendly embrace,
On a warm summer’s day;
It’s why we shrug off winter,
In favor of a holiday.

What is "The Daily Creative Writer?” It's a blog and a twitter feed focused on providing inspiration and structure to writers and anyone wanting to add a little more creativity into their lives. So many of us want to write - to make a living, to explore our creative side, or because we simply must put words on a page - but don't know where or how to begin. The first step is always the hardest, but it’s all about momentum. Focus on the journey of writing, not the destination. What you discover might surprise you – writing balances your life and opens you up to experiences that are more authentic, with endless amounts of creativity and inspiration. So let's get started - it's really not that hard. As Hemingway famously said, "There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed..." Tap that vein and let it flow.
