Dear M, Writing Retreat Day 1: Soften
I’m an artist-mother who self-organized a writing retreat in the mountains of New Mexico. For 5 days, I’ll have uninterrupted time to think, write, plan, and feel into the peace and quiet of my own heart. Join me as I “check in” at the end of each day about how the day went and what I learned. I will be having a conversation with “M”–the nickname of my “Merry Memoir”–a work in progress that I have personified because I believe she supports my creative process. As Marianne Boruch tells us: “make the occasion for it” and the writing will come.
