I have been thinking a lot about traveling lately. While I am on my walk a notion often comes to me every few months where I feel the itch that it is time to take a small getaway. Sometimes it is writing-related, like a retreat or a conference. Sometimes it is just to change scenery. Sometimes it is just a thought rather than actually leaving the house. Reading is a great way to travel and at this point in my life not leaving the house means it was a good day.
I just finished Ruth Reichel's novel THE PARIS NOVEL and loved it. It was such a fun read full of Paris and food. A good way to travel through text.
I have a writing retreat/author events planned for next month, a trip to Florida for a family wedding, a primitive camping trip to Canada, a cruise, and a Disney weekend planned before the end of the year! There is always lots to be inspired with for writing!
Where are you traveling this year?
Þetta Reddast!
The Bradbury Trio [reading a poem, an essay, and a story every day] fuels my writing.
This trio structure works for me because I am inspired to write after I read.
I hope your reading today leads you to writing that could not have been created any other way.
Here are some pieces I want to share with you today.
Here is some of what I read today.
Poem: Cherry Blossoms
I miss Ada Limon hosting The Slowdown. This episode is Ada reading the poem Cherry Blossoms by Toi Derricotte.
Story: Sister Earth
My attention was drawn to this story from a writing assignment this week. The weirdness is lovely and I want to use it for a study story for my writing.
Essay: World Famous Crochet Museum
Museums are one of my obsessions. They come up in my writing often, sometimes sneakily.
Writing prompt: What object should have its own museum? The weirder, the better.

What will these pieces inspire you to write!?
What are you writing in your notebook today?
Happy Writing!
