Back in the Saddle – Pensacola
Breaking through a bout of writers block, this time, for me, took a drastic change of venue. For my job, I am in Pensacola Beach, Florida, at a conference where even the president of the company putting on the conference presents wearing cargo shorts and flip-flops. These are SO my people. No suits, heels, or dress clothes came anywhere near my suitcase and I am very much ok with that!
I have to tell you, walking on the beach, feeling the sun on my shoulders, and now that the sun has gone down, hearing the waves hit the beach just beyond my balcony is having nine kinds of therapy on my withered writer’s soul.
(The very potent “Beach Sex” and “Pain Killer” frozen cocktails are rather therapeutic, too. The dorm fridge in my hotel room, well stocked with Diet Coke, Mike’s Hard Lemonade and a few other things are not hurting either.)
So for a writing prompt, I am going to free write about the beach. Since I am in a conference, I will write in fits and starts – and probably on backs of napkins during breaks, but this is so good. I cannot wait to see where it goes. I’m back in the saddle. How’s it going for you?
write anyway, writers block, Pensacola Beach, venue change, free writing, beach
