I had a great time at an online writing retreat today.

Even though I know that the best way to charge up my writing battery is to spend time with other writers, I often forget to actually do it.

After today I feel peacefully content with my plans to get back to the page.

I had a migraine last night so I was all out of sorts for most of the day and then I had to run messages.

This evening I am just kind of trying to recombobulate myself so this feeling doesn’t leak into the weekend.

I wish there was a magic wand for this but instead I am meditating and doing yoga and trying to be as calm as possible.

My sister and I chatted around a fire to welcome creative growth into our lives.

Between my posts here and my posts at Fit is a Feminist issue, I have written 133 blog posts since December 1.

My daily posts at the group blog are over for now but I want to channel that writing energy into something else.

I think I’ll just write what I would have put into the other blog into a document for the next few days and see what I want to do with it after that.

I slept at an odd angle the other night and now I have a knot in my left shoulder.

I’ve been doing various exercises and taking meds to work out the knot but in the meantime at class tonight I did my TKD patterns one-handed.

I was pretty pleased with the results but some of the movements were tricky to remember without the visual cue of my left hand in a specific place.

And because each movement took just that much more effort, my class wore me out.
