Experience An Odyssey

"Our finest moments most likely occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy or unfulfilled.  For it is only then propelled by our discomfort that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers."   - M. Scott Peck


Ulysses ventured from his island home of Ithaka after his role in the Trojan War.  He tackled exhaustion, monsters, magic, and adventures during his journey.  Self-discoveries abounded that changed him.

Set out on a writing adventure that delves into unfulfilled aspects of your life. What metaphor will launch you on a search for undiscovered regions in writing?  Where will you travel for challenges and experiences?

Will you trek up mountains and hike into forests?  Does a jungle adventure provide the backdrop for unusual?  Would an island filled with distractions and hallucinations create stimulation?   What would you discover in the Icelandic region?

Develop your own region with monsters and magic.  Set a scene of discomfort and write into and beyond it.
