Write on!

Seagulls write their musings across the sky. Do they vacation from the need to fly?

In his book, Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell reports that it takes 10,000 hours to become a master at something. For a writer that just scratches the surface. Discoveries and learning occur in every waking moment and during dream time.

It takes discipline and the distraction of sensory experience to awaken a writer's rhythm. Life surrounds us with words to choose for exploration.Why would anyone need a vacation from the thrills that writing provides?

Set a date to write for an extended period of time. Designate a portion of one day for a "writer's retreat." Prepare before the date with books and writing ideas.

Then write on and on!
